Well, here goes. I’m just going to dive right in and see what happens. I’ve got to tell you, though, my heart’s beating a little faster right now. There are an awful lot of you out there, and I definitely feel a responsibility to respect your time and share something meaningful.
When Chad first talked to me about starting this blog, I was definitely excited to participate. I have talked to so many nonprofit professionals over my years with Blackbaud and had so many interesting exchanges about marketing and fundraising and data management and CRM, I knew I’d have plenty of thoughts to share. I hadn’t read many blogs, but at the time I didn’t figure I was that far behind. (Like Webster’s, blogs entered my consciousness around 2004.) As I’ve gotten more involved, however, I’ve realized how far behind I really am and its a little intimidating!
