Divisions
This section is added to profiles about state-specific offices. This includes articles like Governor of Texas or Lieutenant Governor of Alabama.
This section features a brief summary of what the divisions of the office do (e.g. "...provide technical assistance to the Governor across of range of policy areas. They provide research, advice, and organizational leadership...") and subsections for each division.
Individual division subsections should feature specific information about that division (e.g. duties, assigned tasks, specialties). Additionally, using "collapsible wiki code" contact information should be readily available.
NOTE: for stub articles
For stub articles or articles that have recently been built, simply create a bullet list of the different divisions.
==Divisions== * division 1 * division 2 * division 3 * division 4 * etc.

Appointments Office
- The Appointment Office is a team devoted to assisting the Governor in identifying, recruiting, and hiring talented individuals for the many positions that must be filled in a gubernatorial term.
- Appointment is an executive power under which the Governor selects individuals to head state government bodies, councils, and bureaucracies. Appointment power is granted to the governor by the Texas Constitution. '"Article 4, Section 12" states: "All vacancies in State or district offices, except members of the Legislature, shall be filled unless otherwise provided by law by appointment of the Governor."[3] The appointment of officials is one of the most influential methods by which the Governor executes the policies enacted by the legislature. Approximately 3,000 appointments will be made during a four-year term.[4]
