Welcome to the Blackbaud Community Collaborators Club discussion thread!

Hello my fellow Collaborators Club Members,

I tried to change up the flow for this club and think I overcomplicated things, because we haven't had many people join the Collaborators Club. So, I am just going to make being a part of this club simple again…..just complete the one action for the month (plus having your profile filled out.)

Also, I was keeping this super cool, but time consuming spreadsheet to give people more points the more Collaboration Challenges they completed, but I have become aware there is not enough time for me to keep up with this spreadsheet the more Collaborators join our group. Therefore, if you already have the Collaborator badge and you complete the monthly challenge you will receive 1000 profile points.

December's Collaborator Challenge is to answer this poll.

Proud to be Collaborating with you!

Elizabeth

Hello Collaborator Club Members,

The first week in January I went to pull the reports for which of you completed the poll in December. Low and behold, it said no one and I knew that was not right! So I submitted a ticket and the vendor is still working on it. So, I decided every Collaborator Member would get points for December.

I came up with once again a twist to give those of you who collaborate extra points based on how much you engage! Please read the starting post to see what January's Challenge is and the 3rd try at awarding points. (I am all ears and eyes for any feedback.) Thank you all for being a part of this Community and being so collaborative!

Hi,

I was just checking, am I missing the January Challenge? I looked and am seeing older things, but not a pinned post for the January Challenge.?

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Dawn

Elizabeth Perron

Hi @Dawn Alonso, I apologize for not replying sooner. The challenge for January was to post a question.

Dawn Alonso

Ahh, that's unfortunate that I wasn't able to participate, since I could not find the post.

I guess I will have to wait for the Buzz to be published, looks like they typically arrive in my email box on Wednesdays.

Elizabeth Perron

Hi @Dawn Alonso, I am sorry you didn't get to participate either. However, the engagement campaign is not going to launch until later in the month, so please read March's challenge in the original post. (It's bolded!)

Barbara Kunkel

@Elizabeth Perron - how do I remove a bookmark?

Elizabeth Perron

Hi Collaborators! March's Challenge is to add or remove bookmarks from your profile page.

I was unexpectedly out during January and February, so I am putting the congratulations for both months together!! Thank you all for how supportive you are to each other to help social good grow!

@Elizabeth Perron, I hope all is well. We are still down two people in our office and as a treat while eating a little snack I came out to the community to chill for a few minutes and was fun to see this Back to it, I go So lucky to love my job, colleagues, and that I believe so deeply in the work we do here!

Elizabeth Perron

@Elizabeth Johnson I hope you find a good matches soon for your office mates. I was eating a snack right after I posted this, so maybe we were eating a snack together at the same time while in community ?. All is well with me this week.

Angela Tuttle

Bravo everyone!!!! Well done!! ?

Elizabeth Perron

@Barbara Kunkel, Click into a topic>click the three dots at the top of the topic>choose unbookmark or bookmark>voila! If you are having trouble getting something unbookmarked from your bookmarks, please let me know. Sometimes, I have to put in a case for the vendor to do it.

Does that help?

Elizabeth Perron

Hi Collaborators!

April's Challenge is a networking event with our Community Collaborator Club Members! Simply click here, review all our CCC Members on the right and send a friend request to meet a fellow Collaborator Club Member.

I came up with this idea while giving points on your profile pages and seeing how many of you are already connected and being surprised to see that some of you aren't connected yet!

March's Challenge = Add or remove a bookmark.

Keith Wilson

Well I missed out on earning it in March, so hopefully I got it this month! Fellow Collaborators, please don't think I'm creepy by sending out a bunch of friend requests to all you random strangers! ?

Barbara Kunkel

@Keith Wilson - I also missed out on earning points for March - good luck for April everyone!

Beth Hudson

I missed March too. I randomly send friend requests too. Some of the best answers/insights/posts have come from random friend requests.

Robin Waldinger

I think I did it!?! ?

Daniel Weaver

can you send me a link to the June challenge?

Dawn Alonso

I'm glad I was not the only one who wasn't seeing the June challenges, lol. ?

Marie Stark

There was poll but I don't think I have seen a challenge.

Elizabeth Perron

Hi All,

Hi Collaborators,

First, I am sorry to be late to the party and not fill you in on the June challenge until today. The reason is @Crystal Bruce created the current Boost Your Badge engagement campaign and I was reviewing our collaborator club badge levels to see if we had badges to level up and we do!! So please check out the original post above for the Collaborator Club Challenge! We will use the poll results for September's challenge, so please vote if haven't already.

Without further ado….here are our May's points!

Please reply if you completed May's challenge and your name is not listed.
