Simply Powerful™

Membership Management

Imagine If...

  • You could access all membership demographics broken down the way you wanted them — in the blink of an eye.
  • Your association had the simplest — and best — system around for tiered membership pricing.
  • Membership reports, as highly detailed or streamlined as you needed, appeared in just 48 hours.
  • Your members smiled at the thought of their membership “paperwork ” — a two-minute online application process plus easy status checks.

Membership Management Module

Ever find yourself thinking, “so many members requests, so little time ”? Do all the details of managing your members have you pining for that cruise to the Bahamas? Have no fear (and put that life jacket away). The ARC Polaris™ Membership Management Module has come to the rescue.

With Polaris, the mental and financial resources you now dedicate to registration and accounts can be things of the past. Plus you get more powerful insight into the demographic details of your membership than ever before.

Polaris puts your finger on the pulse of every member, so you can serve them like never before. Need to view percentages based on location? Member status? No problem. This module also gives you the power to cultivate the association of the future through tracking prospects and even setting up trial memberships.

Your members will love its powerful simplicity. Because Polaris lets them serve themselves through your website, they’ll enjoy seamless, efficient account registration, management, and updating capabilities. Polaris also gives them hands-on control of subgroups (like chapters and committees) and unbeatable access to their peers, thanks to an easily searchable online directory.

Power-Packed Features

Membership your way

Polaris gives you the power to create your own membership types (Alumni, Student, Professional, etc.) and set different dues amounts, even different payment requirements. You’ll also be able to set up your own membership questions and create a database searchable by any number of field types.

Corral your materials

Polaris has a powerful support system for managing all types of membership materials. Whether its cards, welcome kits, packets, or even new toasters to welcome new members, Polaris makes sure the right materials get to the right people.

Tiers without tears

By integrating with other system modules, Polaris automatically ties event prices to registration types. Like magic, the system automatically determines which members earn special pricing for events, reducing your staff’s workload and stress considerably.

Reporting for duty

For those times when you just gotta know (even at 2 a.m.), Polaris lets you download membership information directly into an Excel spreadsheet. You'll get one centralized list of all your chapters, regions or members anytime, anywhere.

Chapters, committees and boards — oh my!

Polaris simplifies managing your organization’s chapters, officers, rosters, even directories. Keep tabs on all officers and committees, set up new committees, or grant special access to the board. Polaris makes it a snap.
