Community Happenings: July 5 2017

Shannon Emery

Hello Community!

 

I know the day’s wrapping up but why not end your day with a recap of everything happening in the Community? I could be a bit biased (as if my job depended on it) but I do love our Community. Seeing everyone interact brings warm fuzzies to this Community Manager so keep up the good work.

 

Alright, enough of that, here’s what’s happening in the Community:

 
Make an Appearance

• In the Louisville, KY area? Head over to a Raiser’s Edge User group hosted by a fellow Community member on July 13!
• Join us on July 13 to learn how to plan an event in Online Express using event forms. After that, you’ll be a pro!

Stay Informed

• Did you miss last week’s Raiser’s Edge NXT Q2 Webinar? We have you covered with the recording right here in the Community.
• Great news for Luminate CRM – SKY Reporting is now available! Check out the details in our latest blog.

Get Involved

• Chime in on what you think makes a campaign go viral and how to keep the longevity going after the excitement wears off in this Best Practices discussion.
• Does your organization have a strategy around using the new Facebook fundraising tools? Tell us about it on our discussion!

Alright, favorite Community, may I ask you a question? It's one that I don’t think we’ve asked in awhile: Why are you here in the Blackbaud Community? I want to hear from you all – why is the Community important to you? 


Don't want to share here? Feel free to message me! 

 

In the meantime, see you next week! 

Michele Belisle

I'm new in the last few months to the world of Blackbaud. This seems like a good place to learn. That's why I'm here.

Shannon Emery

Hey Michele - Thank you for sharing your insight. Welcome to the Blackbaud Community - if you need any help, let me know! 

Eileen Disken

Thank you Shannon. I always look forward to the weekly community happenings.

Heather MacKenzie

The community is important to me for the ability to share information with others who are in the same stage of learning, the same job, or the same predicament as me.  :-)

Shannon Emery

That's great to hear, Eileen! It makes me have warm fuzzies that someone's looking forward to my post! 

Shannon Emery

I love that Heather - thank you for your feedback - that makes sense. You all do the same jobs and same work but at varying levels with different perspectives and could share those practices with people.
