Many times in the text I'm working on there's a list of organizations in a complex mult-clause sentence. Many of the organizations have "and" in their name. It's very hard to keep the sentences clear with the "and" in the organization names and the "and" preceeding the final list item and any other sundry "and"s in the sentence.(Unfortunately, restructuring the sentence or listing the organizations vertically isn't an option.)
If the name of your organization, or the title of your book, or anything else that serves as a proper noun contains the word "and", you should use a & instead. Then if you ever end up in a confusing list, it will be obvious which words go together.
