Is Your Organization Built to Thrive in the Age of AI?

Lunch will be provided

AI is accelerating how work gets done—but speed without safeguards can quickly turn into risk.

As organizations adopt AI tools for productivity, fundraising, operations, and decision-making, leaders face a critical challenge: how to harness AI’s benefits while protecting trust, data, and accountability.

This seminar goes beyond AI hype to focus on what truly determines success in the age of AI: leadership, governance, and responsible controls.

You’ll explore how AI is changing the pace of work—but not the responsibility of organizations—and why trust, judgment, and human oversight matter more than ever.

Key topics include:

• What it really means to be an AI-ready organization
• Why AI raises the stakes for governance, trust, and accountability
• The two biggest risks organizations face: doing nothing—or moving too fast without controls
• How to protect your organization’s data when using AI tools
• Essential AI policies, controls, and guardrails every organization should have
• Who owns AI decisions—and what happens when something goes wrong
• How leadership (not technology) defines success, ethics, and outcomes

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of where AI fits, where it doesn’t, and how to put practical safeguards in place so AI strengthens—not endangers—your mission, reputation, and data.

Who should attend:

• Executives, founders, and board members
• IT, security, and risk leaders
• Operations, strategy, and innovation teams
• Nonprofit and mission-driven organization leaders
• Anyone responsible for protecting data, trust, and decision-making

AI adds power. Foundations and governance determine whether that power helps—or harms.
