What's on Tap for eTapestry?

Welcome to What’s on eTap?: a new monthly feature in the eTapestry Blog!

What’s on eTap? is a monthly digest of upcoming product news, updates, and resources. We work with the entire eTapestry team here at Blackbaud in order to compile the most comprehensive list of resources and news in the eTapestry world. Do you have ideas for how this new monthly post could be made better? Hit us up in the comments section below.

Online User Community
We are launching an online community for eTapestry customers on August 19. This community will be a place where eTapestry customers can share ideas, best practices, challenges, and solutions with each other. This community will be accessible to any eTapestry customer with a Blackbaud.com login.

Webinars
We have three webinar series that are completely free to all eTapestry Users. Select the series that sound most like you and explore all the learning options coming up in the next month.

New User Orientation:
Welcome to eTapestry! You are probably a new user or someone who is just getting started with the eTapestry database. This webinar series will introduce you to the basic functions of eTapestry.

Freshman Orientation:
Let’s get this show on the road! You are probably in your first year of eTapestry use and are looking for help making all the eTapestry functions work for you. This webinar series is dedicated to providing you with an introduction to all the information you need for successful eTapestry use.

Continuing Education:
Hone your know-how! You are probably a more experienced eTapestry user who is looking for a specific application of eTapestry to fundraising, communications, or volunteer/alumni management. This webinar series is devoted to keeping your abreast of fundraising best practices and how your database can help you achieve them.

We are in the process of redesigning our webinar series. Please take a minute to provide some feedback on what we can do to make your experience better.
