New Community Badge: Become a Collaborator!
Crystal Bruce
admin
Since we launched the Covid-19 forums in March, we’ve seen members come together to share best practices during this challenging time.
To honor this spirit, we were inspired to create a new badge in Community! The information below was for months March - June 2020.
Going forward, check out the latest "It Takes a Community" blog in Community News to see how you can earn it for the current month.The Blackbaud Community is a place where great minds come together to share ideas, ask questions, make new friends, and most importantly help each other out. In that spirit, we are announcing a brand new badge you can earn in Community!
Those who earn the “Collaborator” badge will accomplish three simple, but helpful tasks.
It’s our way of saying “thank you!” to members like yourself who take the time to ask questions, answer questions, and make connections. Helping actions that will continue to strengthen our great Community.
Let us know in the comments below if you are going to earn this new badge and wear it proudly on your profile.
We appreciate you all supporting social good!

Those who earn the “Collaborator” badge will accomplish three simple, but helpful tasks.
- Post a question. It can be product/solutions related or it can be about COVID-19 best practices. It can even be something fun in our “Just for Fun” section!
- Answer a question. There are ways to find unanswered questions in Community by clicking on the “No Response” tab in any product/solution forum.
- Make five new friends. You can use the member search filter to narrow members down by title, vertical, and even by zip code. Have you tried searching for specifics like “Community College” in the Organization Name box? I think you will find the member search tool very helpful in making meaningful connections.

Sounds great! I tried to leave a comment in The Tap, but it didn't give me the option at "start topic" so my entry is in Organizational Best Practices https://community.blackbaud.com/forums/viewtopic/420/50395. Feel free to move it, if needed/you can.0

I am interested in participating in this program!
Thanks!

Did I have to mention that I was interested? Wow, it is amazing how motivated I am by badges! I think I hit all the marks last week. and am on my way there for this week. Now I just have to think of another question to ask for this week. . .0

Done and done! What a nice idea for a badge!0
-
Ok, I'm done for this week too
I have to say the asking question part is the hardest for me so thank goodness for the Just for Fun. Wonder what I will come up with next week. Although kids vacation will be over next week so we will see how much time I'll have with homeschooling . . . 0 -

Happy Monday, I hope everyone is well. Yes, I am late on announcing the Collaborator Badge, but for a very good reason. Crystal, Ray and I talked about all the people who have collaborated in the Blackbaud Community since March 13th and how much value they have brought during these unprecedented times. We made the decision to retroact the time period to include these BB Community members in our Collaborators Badge. That was more reporting work, but it was worth it!!
Please visit our members profile pages who have earned their Collaborator's Badge to Congratulate them!
They are: Tami Goertzen Regina Holten Ray Bergman Mercedes McCayRead Mary Zieten JoAnn Strommen Jennifer Peters Elizabeth Perron Elizabeth Johnson Crystal Bruce Chris Geady Bryna Gleich Austen Brown
Thank you to the 500+ members who have completed actions to almost gain them the Collaborator Badge! If you are curious about what else you need to complete to gain your badge please message me and I'll let you know. Otherwise, just keep doing what you are doing and all your collaboration will eventually add up to a badge!!
Tip: Did you know once you friend someone in Community their "feed" shows up on your My Community Dashboard?
I especially appreciate watching what my friends are doing in the Community right now, because it makes me feel like we really are all in this together, asking questions, replying to questions, friends connecting to new friends.
In harmony,
Elizabeth
