Happy Wednesday, Blackbaud Community,

BINGO!

We are a little over two weeks away from bbcon 2022 Virtual, and it’s time to play bbcon bingo.

Here’s how to play:
  1. Go to the bbcon bingo page in Community
  1. Download the bbcon bingo card and mark off each square as you complete the actions. Decide if you are going to complete one row or the entire board!
  1. Upload your card when you’ve finished marking off the squares.

What’s at stake:
  • Every Community member who completes at least one row will be awarded 5,000 community points.
  • Each member who completes the entire board will be awarded 10,000 community points.
Points will be awarded on October 19th!

The resources you need to complete your bbcon bingo card can be found across the bbcon community, the bbcon website, community managers page, and within the bbcon blogs. If you have any questions about completing the squares, we will be happy to answer in the comments below. 

Good luck and have fun playing! 

LEARN MORE ABOUT BLACKBAUD’S CHIEF PRODUCT OFFICER:

You may have seen Blackbaud’s  announcement a few months ago about the appointment of Sudip Datta as chief product officer. In this role, he oversees Blackbaud’s global product portfolio—including product lifecycles, roadmaps and strategy—contributing to Blackbaud’s growth and innovation.  Sudip took a quick break from talking with customers and innovating with his team to do a Q&A about his background, vision and priorities, and his deep personal connections to social good. - read it here. 

LISTEN UP! 
In the latest sgENGAGE podcast, Chynna A. Phillips, senior director of policy and research at Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina, and Melissa Levesque, senior vice president and chief strategy officer at Coastal Community Foundation, spoke about implementing advocacy in foundations and their respective journeys.
