I don't use LinkedIn and I'm surprised they don't have something like a
"community service" section. How are you supposed to list other
charitable or other non-business activities that could be relevant? Girl
Scout Den Mother, church deacon, library fundraising committee chair,
community organizing, etc? Some of those have motherships you could list
but none is really a "company".
