Research Services was awarded for their creation of an automated donor biography which automatically compiles donor information previously gathered by a member of the research staff.
Advancement Services received their award for their Electronic Desktop Deposit. Creation of an electronic deposit system improved donor satisfaction, sped up the deposit and communications process, and avoided potential issues with the postal system.
