I've listed the Pelican in modern terms (highest award for service in an
international non-profit corporation), and when applicable, mentioned that
I've done event planning for X years. I've also listed other
accomplishments from volunteer or unpaid work. One of those got me the job
before the one I have now and contributed to the job I have now.

Just because it isn't in "corporate America" doesn't mean your
accomplishments, skills, and talents aren't worth putting on a resume.
