Happy Wednesday Community,

Cast your vote for the Blackbaud Community! 


We are excited to share that the Blackbaud Community is officially a nominee for the 2023 CMX Community Industry Awards in the “customer success community” category. 

The community managers work hard for our members to create a fun, engaging, and supportive space. We also work closely with our colleagues at Blackbaud to provide useful content and to ensure your voices are heard. 


If you feel like the Community adds value to your work, we’d appreciate if you would consider casting your vote Blackbaud under “Customer Success Community” on the voting form! 



Badge Update:



Have you had a chance to explore the new look of the Community badges? So far, we have heard that the badges are “really helpful to see what level you're on at a glance,” and another member said they “find myself liking the new badges more than I realized I would.” We would love to hear YOUR thoughts below in the comments!
