    Yes you do - any employers and employees. And company officers (if any are mentioned with their title) are appointed by a private company and not elected by the public so they get indexed.

    From What to Remember About This Project

    • Index names of employers and employees. When indexing business names, index the names of individuals only. For example, "The Ad Book" would not be indexed, but "Barner Kehlenbeck Wines and Liquors" should be indexed. In this case, you would create 2 entries: one for Barner (surname) and another for Kehlenbeck (surname). Do not index occupations or terms such as "banker," "policeman," "M.D.," or similar terms.
