When you have an experience, companies look for your "Ins" and "Outs." Ins are the lessons and functions you have learned from the job, whereas Outs are the unique differences you made for that company. Ins are usually summed up by your position title, so in your bullet-points it is more essential to put down your Outs. You are not trying to say, "I am impressive because I had these positions," but rather "I am impressive because WHILE I had these positions, I did this this and that, which no one else who has the same position would have done.
We all know that positions are associated with pride etc, however being president of any organization does not mean that you did anything productive for that organization. What recruiters want to know is what unique contribution you made to that organization and how you can join a new organization and make the same or better contributions. Your experience and contributions sell you better than bragging about positions held.
Concentrate on your “outs” rather than your "Ins".
