THE BUZZ: Sharp Focus Edition

Ray Bergman

Good Morning Community!


Lately, here in the Blackbaud Community, we've been asking ourselves to hone our focus and sharpen our effectiveness.  And let me tell you; that's easier said than done sometimes!  With so many things happening in our world at the moment, there are many different distractions to take us away from what we're concentrating on.  And while our focus is on bringing you the best possible community, we'd like to know what your focus is.  So please, let us know in the comments on this blog post, or respond to the following topic.

My Day to Day focus is to learn as much as I can about the Financial Edge side of Blackbaud, so that I can assist the company that I work with to be the best that it can be.  I love Methodist Children Home and what it stands for, therefore I want to be able to preform my job in the most correct and efficient way possible.  So the chats, printed material, and training is very important to me, and  the more that I am charged with doing the more I will dive into Blackbaud.
