How to search for members?

At the start of the search, the list of results is empty because the complete list of members is two large and irrelevant.

Use the 3 fields below to filter your search, then click on  button to launch it.

Enter search term(s)

You must enter at least 3 characters (but it's advisable to enter more for finer filtering) in the first search field (red framed). It doesn't matter whether the characters are at the beginning, middle or end of the word. Likewise, upper-/lowercase, umlauts and accent marks are meaningless. If you enter multiple words separated by a space, the AND operator is applied.

Which personal data to search for?

The drop-down menu in the second field (green framed) makes it easy to specify which personal data must be searched for. You can choose between following search options (the first line is selected by default):

Note: Any member can intentionally hide his/her personal data. In this case, you won't find this member in your search.

Where to search for one or more member(s)?

The drop-down menu in the third field (blue framed) makes it possible to specify which district, region or club to search; you can only choose one entity (by default, all clubs in your district are searched).

Clubs are sorted alphabetically within each district. Special clubs, foundations, scholarships and other units are not listed.

New members

The search for New members is similar to the search for Members (Yearbook), with an automatic filter that provides only the names of members who have joined Rotary or Rotaract in the last 3 years.

By default, a list of all new members in all your country Polaris districts is displayed; if necessary, use the location field (blue framed) to restrict your search.

Search Members | Obituary

The same Member search principle also applies to the search for deceased Rotarians, but only members for whom the club has created an Obituary article and made it visible to the Rotary community are displayed. Many clubs do not...

If you cannot find the deceased in this section, please contact the club secretary. For data protection reasons, it is not possible to search for deceased members who have not been the subject of an Obituary publication in Polaris.

By default, the current year is preset in the year selection field (blue framed) and the initial list shows all members deceased in the current year.

You can to get the complete list or you can select another year. The first field (red framed) allows you to restrict the list by entering a name or part of it.

Important remarks to the member search

• The search does not use language translation. E.g. search for classification "Attorney" will not return "Anwalt" or "avocat".
• You can search only for Active members. Other contacts, deceased, resigned or expelled members are excluded.
• Because Guests are members in another club, you will find them and see their home club (blue) and guest clubs (yellow).
• If you don't want to disclose your personal data to the Rotarian community, you can hide particular fields by adjusting yourself your personal profile. Then it they will be visible only to members of your home club.

• GDPR
  
  The member data in the result list is not visible to the public and also not to other contacts! Only active members with valid login can use the search function and see the member data!

• Intentionally, there is no export of this data into machine readable format like Excel.

General recommendations

1. Use specific terms, don't use short or abstract terms
   
   
2. If you do not find what you are looking for, it may have many reasons:
   • The person you are looking for is not or no longer in Rotary.
   • The personal data of that person are hidden for the community
   • The person you are looking for is Other contact.
