Happy Wednesday, Blackbaud Community,




ARE YOU NEW HERE? 

 

We’re happy to share that we’ve just launched a new way to help our new members get engaged and learn the basics of Blackbaud Community. Our New Member Journey contains five simple steps that will help you get set up and ready to engage, from filling out your member profile to setting subscriptions to getting acquainted with your dashboard.   

  

Not a new member but could use a refresher? We encourage you to view the New Member Journey as well!  






CELEBRATING BLACK HISTORY MONTH IN THE UK



To celebrate, our colleagues in the UK are sharing their unique family ties and how their cultural backgrounds have shaped who they are today. Read their stories here.






LAST CALL FOR BINGO!



We are a little over a week away from bbcon 2022 Virtual, and it’s time to play bbcon bingo.



Here’s how to play:

1. Go to the bbcon bingo page in Community

2. Download the bbcon bingo card and mark off each square as you complete the actions. Decide if you are going to complete one row or the entire board!

3. Upload your card when you’ve finished marking off the squares.

• Every Community member who completes at least one row will be awarded 5,000 community points.
• Each member who completes the entire board will be awarded 10,000 community points.

Points will be awarded on October 19th!



The resources you need to complete your bbcon bingo card can be found across the bbcon community, the bbcon website, community managers page, and within the bbcon blogs. If you have any questions about completing the squares, we will be happy to answer in the comments below. 



Good luck and have fun playing!
