The Buzz: December 14, 2022

Welcome to this week's edition of THE BUZZ! In this edition, you will find: Season of Giving update, upcoming events, featured jobs, helping out your fellow community members to earn bonus points in community, and more...

Happy Wednesday Community,




The Season of Giving is in Full Swing!



Our annual Season of Giving campaign is rolling into week three! So far, we have awarded the limited-edition badge for this campaign to 23 Blackbaud Community members! And YOU still have a chance to earn it.







There are only three steps you need to complete, all of which are important ways that you can help make Blackbaud Community a friendly, useful site and help others connect with you in a more meaningful way:  

• Task #1: ask a question or start a discussion sharing your favorite product tip/trick.

• Task #2: answer an unanswered question in your product(s) community and/or mark your questions as answered. 
• Task #3: freshen up your profile picture, update your bio, and/or change your cover photo.  

 

You must complete all three tasks by 6:00pm ET on December 21st in order to earn the badge. We will be awarding the badge on a weekly basis (every Friday afternoon), so the sooner you complete these tasks, the sooner you will have the badge! 

 

And stay tuned because in the coming weeks we will also have bonus point opportunities for all new badge holders!
