Description

When listing members on a board-subtype, they seem to display oddly.

For example we have this page: Clinical Laboratory Advisory Committee

All the Board members are non-state employees, so their "role/title" field is blank. Instead, their current occupation/affiliation is in the "short bio field." As you can see from the screenshot, this "short bio" field is formatted to appear right next to their names, without an spacing.

board page - members

Ideally, I feel the short bio field should always appear underneath a person's name, not starting beside it.

On a related design note, we were wondering if there could be a reduction of white space in the member fields, and/or showing fewer members by default. In our department, we feel it adds a lot of length/"clutter" to the page. Sometimes we still use service details to list members on a separate page, because orgs don't like the added length. An example of where we did that is the Public Health Council.

Research direction

No repository files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the linked Clinical Laboratory Advisory Committee and Public Health Council pages alongside the attached screenshot. Done should place each short bio beneath the member’s name and address the requested whitespace and default-member display concerns.
