I'm thrilled to be one of the speakers lined up for Blackbaud Delivers! I'm pretty sure I'm the only non-Blackbaud employee on the roster!

Blackbaud Delivers

If you’re worried about the key challenges your organization faces daily…you aren’t alone. Everyone has unique worries, and nonprofits are working harder than ever to bring in and stretch every dollar. But there are specific steps you can take right now to protect your organization’s future — and we’re here to show you exactly how.

What is Blackbaud Delivers™?
At Blackbaud, along with our corporate and nonprofit partners, we speak with hundreds of nonprofit executives every day about the issues that worry you most. And we have knowledge experts, varied by field of expertise, who can help you overcome just about anything you throw their way. In 2008, Blackbaud Delivers began its mission to offer practical nonprofit management seminars presented by some of our best experts in a variety of major cities and via the Internet. View the 2008 Blackbaud Delivers archive of events and content.

The theme of the 2009 Blackbaud Delivers program is “Worry Less,” and all seminars will be geared toward helping you reduce your worries and put the practical steps you need in place to keep your fundraising on the upswing this year.

How do the seminars work?
Each regional seminar lasts a half-day, so you’re only away from your desk a few hours. And each web seminar lasts 90 minutes. Plus, the best part is that Blackbaud Delivers events are absolutely free for you to attend! Simply sign up to attend any of our events.
