Peter Gulka’s Summary
I shepherd the Blackbaud User Society members by maintaining and cultivating the community in which they thrive. I've been using Blackbaud's Raiser's Edge professionally for over 5 years and have come to learn just how powerful a tool it is in helping fundraising organizations. The community runs on vBulletin and requires daily gardening to keep things healthy. I am constantly looking for new and exciting ways to bring value to the members and make blackbus.org a worthwhile place for them to call home.
I am spending time as a Raiser's Edge Consultant offering ways to help organizations get the most from their systems. People spend a lot of money on RE and often only use a small portion of its capabilities. I can help them get more bang for their buck.
I love what I do so much that the lines between work and not-work seem to blur.
