AI Tools for Nonprofits and How to Effectively Speak to Elected Officials

The morning session will be a hands-on introduction to the core concepts, tools, and strategies related to AI for Nonprofits. Designed specifically for nonprofit leaders, this workshop will show attendees how to leverage artificial intelligence to streamline operations, strengthen engagement, and amplify the organization’s mission impact.

The training will be led by Mark Cardwell. Mark is widely recognized as an advocate for the effective use of artificial intelligence, bringing self-taught expertise in integrating AI into small business and nonprofit operations. His knowledge is grounded in extensive research, hands-on practice, and a deep understanding of how technology can advance mission-driven work.

As the Founder of Cardwell Communications LLC and the Interim Executive Director of the Ohio Association of Nonprofit Organizations (OANO), Mark combines big-picture leadership with practical, hands-on support.

The second part of the training will feature an in-depth training on communicating with elected officials at both the local, county, and state levels. This session will be led by Main Street America’s Senior Director of Government Relations, Kelly Humrichouser. Participants will leave the training with an understanding of what is important to those office holders, how to communicate with them and how to craft your message specifically for elected officials.
