To clarify "sponsor". If you are a member of an organization under the 
department of homeland security, for example, the US Coast Guard Auxiliary, 
you operate under the direction of the USCG. You receive an official DHS 
photo ID. You have an *affiliation*, but I believe you still need a 
*sponsor* within an agency to corroborate that you require a security 
clearance, for a particular assignment. I have a vague recollection of 
having been vetted for some clearance when I performed some contract work 
for NIST in the early nineties, and the sponsor in that circumstance was 
the director for whom I provided consulting.
