Welcome to this week's edition of THE BUZZ! In this edition, you will find: Season of Giving is now, the Blackbaud Community Team needs your vote, upcoming events, featured jobs, helping out your fellow community members to earn bonus points in community, and more...
Happy Wednesday Community,
The Season of Giving is Here Our annual Season of Giving campaign is here! This year, we are excited to give YOU a chance to earn a shiny new badge – our very first limited-edition, seasonal one! The holidays are a great time to give back to our community of peers, and over the next three weeks, we’ll be looking for you to complete three tasks to earn the new badge.
- Give back task #1: ask a question or start a discussion sharing your favorite product tip/trick.
- Give back task #2: answer an unanswered question in your product(s) community and/or mark your questions as answered.
These tasks will go a long way in continuing to make Blackbaud Community a friendly, useful site and will help others connect with you in a more meaningful way!.
You must complete all three tasks by 6:00pm ET on December 21st in order to earn the badge. We’ll be awarding the badge on a weekly basis (every Friday afternoon), so the sooner you complete these tasks, the sooner you’ll have the badge!
And stay tuned because in the coming weeks we will also have bonus point opportunities for all new badge holders!
We would LOVE your vote for the Blackbaud Community! We previously shared that the Blackbaud Community is officially a nominee for the 2023 CMX Community Industry Awards in the “customer success community” category.
The community managers work hard for our members to create a fun, engaging, and supportive space. We also work closely with our colleagues at Blackbaud to provide useful content and to ensure your voices are heard.
If you feel like the Community adds value to your work, we’d appreciate if you would consider
casting your vote Blackbaud under “Customer Success Community” on the voting form! Voting closes this Friday, December 2nd.
