What's the difference between the organization, the department, and the department group?

These groupings are ways to arrange your site based on the structure of your organization. You will have your Organization and at least 1 department, though those can be the same thing.

The Organization- This will be the overarching organization that is hosting your events. For example, if you worked for a school, your organization might be the district (e.g. Morris School District) or might be the the school itself (e.g. Madison High School). 

The Department- This will be the subgroups within your organization. For example, if your organization was the district, this would be the individual schools (e.g. Madison High School, Morris High School, etc.) , and if your organization was the school, this would be its departments (e.g. Choir and Band). 

The Department Group- This is how you can link departments together. If your organization was the school and you had departments like Choir and Band, you could use a Department Group of Music to group them together.
