Members Bring Deep Expertise on the Needs of the K–12 Independent School Market and Advise on Technology Development
The 19 members on the current board represent a variety of school offices and disciplines, including admissions, marketing and communication, technology, advancement, business operations, registrar and academics. The board advises and assists Blackbaud through continuous, independent reviews of its products, processes, and services for K–12 independent schools, providing input on all aspects of Blackbaud's product design, development, customer success, distribution and support.
"This marks the 22nd year of our K–12 Executive Advisory Board, and the insights we've gained from our members through the years are invaluable," said Mark Davis, vice president, education products, Blackbaud. "Having direct relationships with private school leaders allows Blackbaud to better understand the challenges and opportunities schools are facing. By better understanding both their immediate and long-term needs, we can provide the best possible experience through Blackbaud's Total School Solution to empower their communities."
In 2024, Blackbaud hosted nine meetups with more than 500 K–12 independent school leaders, in addition to 10 advisory board sessions and an annual advisory board retreat filled with breakout sessions, product deep dives, and an opportunity to submit shark tank ideas for Blackbaud product development consideration. Blackbaud interacts with the board regularly to evaluate and gain input on strategic topics, such as the application of AI, partner connections, data insights, reporting and system connectivity—all topics that facilitate fast-paced innovation across Blackbaud's K–12 portfolio.
The deep sector knowledge that comes from this engagement has informed Blackbaud products directly, enabling the company to better serve schools across the country. Recently, American Heritage School and NSU University School selected Blackbaud to deliver components of the Total School Solution to modernize their school operations across admissions and enrollment, student information, learning management, financial aid, and tuition management. Additionally, Punahou School and Pine Crest School, who both have representatives on the current K–12 Executive Advisory Board, have recently decided to extend their longstanding relationships with Blackbaud while continuing to leverage Blackbaud's Total School Solution to manage their entire school operations.
"During our vendor selection process, I was impressed to learn that Blackbaud had invested so much in cultivating such an effective advisory board specific to the K–12 independent school sector," shared Jacob Glickman, associate head of school operations at NSU University School. "The fact that Blackbaud seeks direct guidance from so many of my peers made me much more confident in our decision to ultimately select Blackbaud as our vendor of choice."
Davis added, "We want to thank our outgoing executive director Hiram Cuevas, director of information systems and academic technology at St. Christopher's School, for his dedication and meaningful contributions over the last six years that have helped us serve our K–12 customers. In addition, we're thrilled to welcome our new executive director Austin Ewachiw, director of technology at Calvert Hall College High School, and we're excited to learn from all our members who represent roles across the school business office."
