People field in a list with some non-Active Directory people

I am making a SharePoint list roster that lists everyone by individual, then all the memberships (different committees and groups) and membership types (lead, alternate, etc) that person has.

 

I am hoping to use the People field for data integrity and to avoid hand entering all contact info. The problem is, there are a handful of out-of-org people that are not in Active Directory. I can't figure out a good way to deal with those non-AD people and still be able to use the smart People field for everyone else. 

 

Any ideas? I was trying to think through using a lookup list somehow, or putting the non-AD ones in a different field, but the first doesn't really work and the second is messy. Or possible some sort of workflow solution I'm not thinking of? Any ideas welcome!

    maybe with Power Apps, use a people field to choose the people from AD and a field to type in non-ad user and then write both in one text field.

     

    Good luck.

     

    Best, Dave
