WELCOME NEW MEMBERS


Every Thursday at 12pm EST we facilitate a Community Open House, where we show and tell the top five ways to get the most out of the Blackbaud Community and answer any of your questions. All members are welcome, you don’t have to be new to learn something new each time and I’m one of the Community experts! We hope to be with you there!

RSVP HERE


Current Members, Please use the filters on the member search tool to friend and welcome a new member with whom you have something in common.




HEY ISN'T THAT COOL?


As mentioned above, one of our key asks is for Community members to upload a new profile picture. However, I would like to take it a step further - if you're willing. Tell us a little bit about the photo you chose HERE. Why did you pick it? What does it represent to you? All answers in this discussion will earn one extra entry into the contest! (Limited to one extra entry per Community member)
