Community Happenings: June 19, 2018

Shannon Emery

Hi Community!

I’m back with Community Happenings this week and can anyone else believe it’s already mid-June? Where in the world has 2018 gone?

I know you all are busy but here’s your mid-year reminder to evaluate what you have accomplished so far and figure out how to end the year on a strong note.

If you’re on track, make sure to celebrate – small goals, large goals, all the little wins in between! Maybe even some light chair dancing.

If you’re not on track, that’s okay too. Take a step back to review your year so far and adjust your goals so you can move forward. If nothing else - keep moving forward and keep being awesome.

Now onto the Community:

Make an Appearance

• Join us on June 27 for our Altru Spotlight Live Chat about Q2 Spotlight on Ticket Refunds, Rescheduling, and Editing Payments.
• Save a dollar, become a bbcon scholar with the bbcon Scholarship contest. Submissions will be accepted until July 31, 2018. Apply today!

Stay Informed

• Learn about the benefits of Raiser’s Edge maintenance with this new resource from your Customer Success team.
• We’re sharing insights and trends from The Giving USA 2018 report in the Best Practices Community. Pssst - there’s also a discount code for Blackbaud clients!

Get Involved

• Want to join the upcoming Raiser’s Edge NXT Early Adopter Program? Fill out the survey and our teams will let you know if you’re a good fit!
• Finally, you still have time to join the silent elite who have been dubbed Blackbaud Community Ninjas.

Alright favorite, Community, that’s it for now. Feel free to share your wins below or how you’re going to end 2018 on a strong note. See you next week!

I'm getting through lots of technology changes...migration to BBMS, 75% done (in terms of migrating monthly donors over). ImportOmatic - up and running

Yay Joanne! You go this!!!!!!  

Ash Elverfeld

I'm intrigued by the scholarship contest... is there a compilation of past winning submissions somewhere?

Shannon Emery

Hey Ash - this is the first time our internal team is doing this type of contest but your friendly Community Managers did a video contest last year for a bbcon pass and this is what our community members came up with: https://community.blackbaud.com/blogs/76. Scroll halfway down until you see people's faces and titles with "video" in them!
