collective possessives

The apostrophe on a collective noun.

Add ’s to a singular collective: the committee’s vote, the team’s bus. Add only an apostrophe to a regular plural: the committees’ votes, the teams’ buses. The apostrophe follows the same rule as any other noun. See also apostrophe possessive.
