The Buzz: June 22, 2022

Happy Wednesday, Blackbaud Community, 
 
 
You may have noticed that the Blackbaud Community has a new look! We have adopted an updated color palette that you’ve no doubt seen on blackbaud.com and will be seeing more and more in Blackbaud content and communications. These new colors were selected in consultation with customers (including Community members!) and are designed to reflect our brand personality and meet ADA web accessibility standards. We are excited to see some of you already giving feedback…member Lauren Henderson said, “I like the purple!” We do too, Lauren! We hope everyone embraces the new look as you will continue to see it rolled out across the platform in areas such as badges. 
 


KEEP BOOSTING THOSE BADGES!

Our “Boost Your Badges” campaign is underway, and points values are TRIPLED for asking a question and answering a question. Since the launch, last week, we 've seen 77 new questions and 192 replies. 

  
We’d also like to extend a big congratulations to all the NEW level five badge holders - the Community now has 291 level five Facilitators (answering a question) and 40 level five Inquirers (asking a question)! Let’s keep boosting those levels!
