How can we associate one contact to many accounts without duplication?

If you have many accounts associated with a common contact, for example one business owner may be part of three or four accounts. You will have to enter the owner's name four times to associate all the activities to the respective accounts. In such case to avoid duplication, you can create a custom lookup field in the Accounts module.
