Introducing... All-Stars!

Crystal Bruce · July 2023

I have exciting news! We are now ready to launch the next evolution of the Blackbaud Community super user program, which will be called the Blackbaud Community All-Stars. Thank you to all who have provided invaluable feedback to help inform the program benefits, the name, and even the new badge (check your profiles ?)!

Blackbaud Community All-Stars replaces the Ninja program and will be structured around providing meaningful new benefits and promoting more engagement in the community throughout the year. All ninjas who have been active and engaged in the last six months will be included in the 2023 All-Stars cohort, and all other community members will be eligible to apply for inclusion in the 2024 cohort later this year.

All-Star program benefits include:

Public recognition including a special All-Star profile badge, an All-Stars page on the Blackbaud Community site, and features in the community newsletter, The Buzz

Access to a private forum to network with other All-Stars and regular communication with the Community team.

Providing input on Blackbaud Community programs and features

Invitations to participate in beta testing and early adopter programs

VIP experiences at Blackbaud events, including bbcon

And more to come!

With the launch of the new program, we will be archiving this forum and launching a new exclusive All-Stars forum, which will be sent out to all All-Stars in a message later today, so make sure to bookmark that new page.

You are the first to know so please keep this quiet until the community-wide announcement comes out tomorrow in Community News.

@Crystal Bruce I have not been as active as I would like to be as summer is a time I spend most with my family. I hope to get back into the swing of things this fall. This is definitely a motivator!! Sounds like fun!
