# Accounts and Contacts Overview

> Learn how fusionCore models the organizations and people you work with, and where to start.

This part of fusionCore is about the organizations and people your association works with — and the records that represent them in Salesforce. If you are new to fusionCore, start here to get your bearings before opening the individual guides.

## Key Concepts

A few terms come up throughout this section:

* **Account** — a record that represents an organization, such as a member company, chapter, vendor, or partner.
* **Contact** — a record that represents an individual person, usually someone associated with an Account.
* **Person Account** — a single record that stores one individual as a combined Account and Contact, for people who are members in their own right rather than through an organization.
* **Community** — a group within an association, such as a chapter, committee, board, or working group, along with who belongs to it and the role each person holds.

## Where to Start

Work through these in order if you are setting up the section for the first time, or jump straight to the area you need.
