Carl Lutes
eTapestry Specialist
Carl Lutes has worked in Information Technology positions since the literal dawn of the computer age, starting with wired boards rather than computers. His lifetime of experience – from room-sized mainframe computers to the most current PCs and tablets - and natural affinity for data made him an excellent fit for WIST when he joined the company in 2016 specializing in eTapestry and Excel tricks for effective data cleansing. Carl enjoys spending time with his wife, three children, and six grandchildren, traveling and walking in local parks and neighborhoods. He is also an amateur, but avid, genealogist.
Margaret Clements
Raiser's Edge Generalist
Since completing RE training at Blackbaud HQ in 1999, Margaret Clements has worked in Advancement for education and social service institutions. After a brief retirement, she returned to the Raiser’s Edge world and WIST to put her considerable expertise to use. Margaret enjoys traveling and being outdoors with her family.
