Nonprofit Section Meeting: AI and Nonprofits: Going Beyond the Buzz

Overview

Everyone is talking about Artificial Intelligence (AI), and for good reason; AI is growing at an exponential rate and transforming our lives as we know it. In a business sense, AI is more than a buzzword, it’s a revolution. And it’s certainly not something that can be confined to the IT department. For finance leaders at nonprofit organizations, understanding AI’s role in financial operations, workforce management, and overall efficiency is critical to staying ahead in an evolving landscape. AI has the potential to drive significant benefits for mission-driven organizations – but where do you start?

This session will provide a real-world look at AI’s role in the nonprofit sector. The presenter will talk about what finance leaders need to know and share opportunities for integrating AI into business models. Discussion topics will also include ways AI can enhance financial oversight, automate tasks, and strengthen operations.  

The session will start with virtual networking via breakout rooms from 8-8:30am and the session will run from 8:30-9:30am.
