Hello Raiser's Edge Community!

Published
I wanted to take a moment and introduce myself. If you've spent time in other product Communities you may have seen me around. I'm the new Community Manager for Raiser's Edge & RENXT. Nice to meet you!

I joined Blackbaud around four years ago as a Community Manager for Target Analytics. Since then, my Communities have grown and so have my relationships with our awesome members. 

Every day I spend in Community, I learn something new, meet someone new, or just enjoy reading threads where our members go out of their way to help each other.

A little about me: I'm a mermaid/pirate enthusiast, love geeky things like Game of Thrones, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, you name it.. I am a published writer/photographer and on any given weekend you can find me on my bike adventuring in this beautiful area we call the Lowcountry of South Carolina. Adventure is life!

You can check out some of my photo essays HERE

I'm excited to be stepping into the role of Raiser's Edge/RENXT Community Manager. Please feel free to friend me in Community! You can also send me a private message, post on my wall, or send me an email at crystal.bruce@blackbaud.com if you need help with anything.

Now, my question for you... what would you like to see more of in the RE/RENXT Community? More polls? More blogs? Faster answers to your questions? Would you like more "just for fun" type forums? I want to shape this Community into a space you love being in as much as I do!

Welcome to this part of the BB Universe. Joining the chorus of others glad to see you in more places in the community!
I don't have any input on the Comunity right now, but I just wanted to say that your photography is gorgeous!  My favorite is the essay of the Secret Gardens.  I'm in Michigan and SO hungry for spring green and flowers and your photos gave me a wonderful taste!
Thanks Karel, my best tip is to post in the Raiser's Edge Community anytime you try something new! These super users are 100% your best asset!

Hello Crystal, IEEW is brand new to Blackbaud. We are just getting our sea legs. We have attempted a few things thus far; newsletter to database, a thank you to mentors only, and today we are attempting to batch process donations. So far, we are so happy with the way everything comes together. 

Any tips you might have for creating events would be helpful. That is our next big project.

Congratulations on your new role. For more information on IEEW and our PEACE THROUGH BUSINESS® program, go to www.ieew.org. We educate women economically, socially and politicially.
