Community Happenings: February 21 2017

Shannon Emery

There's no holiday today and I don't have a heartwarming story to share this week so I turned to everyone's trusted source - Google - for inspiration.


As it turns out today is Alan Rickman & Jennifer Love Hewitt’s birthday! Don’t worry, your Community Happenings won’t be filled with references to Harry Potter or the Ghost Whisperer.

 

Or will it? Just kidding, there’s always something amazing happening in the Blackbaud Community so let’s get to it!

 
Make an Appearance

• Learn about all the new features in Altru 4.94 with a free webinar tomorrow, February 22, 2017.
• Get the most out of creating forms in eTapestry with this step by step live chat (with a dash of best practices) on February 23, 2017.

Stay Informed

• Technology. Staff. Policies & Procedures. Three things to ensure your sustained giving program is successful. Check out the first of three Successful Sustainer Giving Programs posts.
• If you’re interested in learning about SKY API or getting into the details, our Developer Blog Series has you covered. First up: An In-Depth Guide To Ratings Using SKY API.

Get Involved

• Team Raiser events are right around the corner. Are you ready for Gift Intake & Processing? We can help!
• Help your Financial Edge product management team determine their strategy for payroll and human resources by answering a few questions.

Finally, what does your organization do for fundraising practices? Take our Best Practices poll and then join the discussion. Share that fundraising knowledge!  

 

Alright favorite community ever, I made it this far without one single Harry Potter reference so you know there had to be one.

 

Will I be back next week with another post?

Looks like a quiet week for RP happenings.
