The AFP GLAC Seasoned Leader Series
Presents:
Strategic Nonprofit AI Integration
Smarter Workflows = Stronger Results
Join us for our Seasoned Leader Series on Tuesday, May 13 at Double Tree by Hilton in San Pedro for a day of learning and exploring the world of AI.
AI isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a shift in how we work. But many nonprofit professionals are asking:
Ø Where do I begin?
Ø How do I scale?
Ø What does strategy even look like?
In this fun, hands-on, high-impact workshop, which relies on active audience involvement, your unique challenges will be discussed and addressed - allowing you to implement solutions on the same day.
Session Learning Objectives
Ø Understand the broader shifts AI is creating in nonprofit work, particularly in fundraising and advancement.
Ø Explore a roadmap for integrating AI tools in alignment with organizational values, people, and workflows.
Ø Identify areas where AI can streamline operations, enhance donor engagement, and boost operational capacity.
Ø Experiment with AI tools in real-time, with guidance and discussion.
Ø Begin designing your own action steps toward building an AI-forward strategic direction.
