For those who are not familiar with this prestigious honor, the Robert C. Hernandez Award is awarded to five outstanding Blackbaud Community Members and Champions who have made significant contributions to the Blackbaud experience through their activity in both Blackbaud Community and Blackbaud Champions.

Previous winners have contributed hundreds of answers in the Blackbaud Community, earned over 10,000 points completing challenges in Blackbaud Champions, and have been valuable participants in specialized programs like EAPs and community focus groups.

On Friday, December 15th, we will hold a very special online awards ceremony with our winners, community members, Blackbaud team, and invited friends and colleagues. It will be a day to remember, so be sure to RSVP to the event, here, and save the date!
