Your members adore awards and competitions. And how does your staff feel about running them? Not so much love there.
The Awards and Competitions Module makes this part of association management simply powerful. Polaris moves your competitions online and makes the entire process paperless—even choosing judges and monitoring their work. This true on-demand functionality will dramatically improve operational efficiency, even if you’re hosting many contests at once.
You’ll also increase the number and quality of applicants by making the process easier. People will be able to automatically screen out competitions if they’re not eligible, and they can submit all their data online. They’ll also be able to upload data from other sections of your website (such as a resume from your career center) on demand, thanks to Polaris’ powerful integration capabilities. Because integration is system-wide, you’ll be able to tap into sophisticated data mining capabilities that will benefit your entire association.
Polaris gives you the flexibility—and power—to design your own awards and competitions from scratch. You’ll be able to write the questions, set the format and craft requirements specific to your association’s goals. So go wild.
Watching your judges work in real time is just the beginning. Polaris also lets you download real-time information about them and about registrants, including registrant demographics. You’ll also be able to manage transcripts and track GPAs online and store them electronically for greater security and easier access by authorized users.
The system recognizes when certain information is common to all scholarships, so a member needs to input it only once. You can completely customize what information qualifies as common.
When you use this module’s display console to watch your judges at work, here’s what you will see: streamlined simplicity in action. For example, Polaris enables multiple judges to score an application, then average the score across judges. After you’ve chosen the winners, the module will automatically notify them when the scholarship decision date passes.
Integration with your online career center lets applicants choose from and easily upload resumes they’ve already submitted to your system.
Integration with other Polaris modules lets your association tap into powerful data mining capabilities, so you can learn more about your current and potential members.
