Ray Bergman

Welcome to this week's edition of THE BUZZ!


In this edition, you will find:  

  

Pride Month kickoff, combating climate change, green ninjas sharing their knowledge, new webinars for Blackbaud eTapestry and Luminate Online, featured jobs from the Blackbaud Community jobs board, hot topics in Community, and more…  

June is here and we are celebrating Pride Month in Community!


It's a month celebrating and advocating equal rights for the LGBTQ+ community. Find out what Blackbaud employees are doing in recognition of Pride Month here.


We are also talking about climate change in Organizational Best Practices. Blackbaud's 2021 Social Responsibility Report detailed what we are doing to combat climate change as a company, and we'd love to hear what steps your organization is taking. Members are already sharing amazing initiatives in this post.
