Happy Wednesday, Blackbaud Community,



HAVE YOU REGISTERED FOR bbcon YET?

Registration is now open. From now until bbcon 2022, we are featuring our bbcon attendees on our new featured members page. This gives you easy access to connect with fellow attendees ahead of the conference. You can also check out the bbcon community for discussions, announcements, and to browse and connect with past bbcon attendees.  
 


NEW FUNDRAISING APPS IN BLACKBAUD MARKETPLACE:

Check out the new blog in the Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT community that highlights the latest new and updated Blackbaud Marketplace applications for fundraising. We think you’ll agree with green ninja Jennifer Vincent who said, “I love seeing these updates in one place!”

The Blackbaud teams often post product news and updates like this in the community blogs. Make sure you stay up to date by subscribing to the blogs for your products.
 
 


CAREER BUILDER: 
 
Did you know the Blackbaud Community has a job board? You can post your organization’s job openings and members can also post that they are looking for a job.
