What are the multiple contact types? (Members, Volunteers, Volunteer Participants, and Activity Participants)

In the Social Career portal, there are four contact types available, including:

• Members
• Volunteers
• Volunteer Participants
• Activity Participants

If a contact person meets the requirements for a specific contact type, the system will automatically classify them under that category. If a contact person meets the requirements for multiple categories, they can have multiple contact types.
