Today is the day! We’re so excited to announce the winners of our Great Small-Staff iPad Giveaway.

Each entry was extremely thoughtful, and we really believe these four will provide excellent case studies on the potential impact of the iPad in the small-staff association community.

The winners represent a variety of organization sizes, both in membership and staff.

The National Urban League Young Professionals is a volunteer auxiliary of the National Urban League with 7,000 members. President Barton J. Taylor wrote in great detail that the iPad will help “track meeting attendance, volunteer hours and fundraising amounts in real time and correct record errors,” as well as “manage member benefits and potentially acquire new benefits by demonstrating to potential vendors how we interface with our members through MemberClicks.”

Women Entrepreneurs in Science and Technology is a nonprofit organization with more than 500 members. “We have no full-time employees, and only two of us who are part-time consultants for the organization,” President Gwen Acton wrote.  Her entry explained how the iPad would “save time and change our registration process at our monthly events,” and “could also be a powerful recruiting tool.”

The Association of Test Publishers is a member-run trade association that represents more than 125 providers of tests and assessment tools and is run on a staff of two. Lauren Scheib’s entry included how the organization is “looking forward to continuing to streamline our member communications, our conference planning, our public relations efforts, our board communications — all through the use of enhanced technology.”

The Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association is a small-staff professional organization with more than 1,200 members.  Ashley Crist’s entry included, “we’d like to be able to conduct a MemberClicks training session during which an iPad would be passed among the attendees.” Additionally, “shifting from paper to electronic registration check-in (at our annual conference) would be less confusing and time-consuming.”

This is just the beginning, though. The winners will be regularly featured on the Splash blog. Groups all over the world will be able to learn about the winners’ ongoing iPad experiences and how they can implement the device into their own operations.

All runners-up in MemberClicks’ Great Small-Staff iPad Giveaway will receive an Amazon gift card.

Congratulations to all the winners, and thank you to everyone who entered.
