SUMMARY:Before the AI Policy: Decisions Every Mission-Driven Leader Needs to Make
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence is no longer a future conversation–it’s already reshaping how organizations communicate\, make decisions\, engage stakeholders\, and deliver on their missions. Yet many nonprofit leaders are being asked to respond to AI before they’ve had the time\, space\, or guidance to think strategically about what responsible adoption actually requires. \nThe challenge is bigger than drafting a policy. Nonprofit leaders must now navigate complex questions around organizational readiness\, staff use\, communications\, equity\, risk\, data practices\, governance\, and culture–all while balancing limited capacity and rapidly evolving technology. Questions like: \n\nWho in our organization is already using AI–and do we actually know how?\nWhat happens to our data when a staff member pastes it into a chatbot–and who is accountable if it leaks?\nAre we adopting AI in a way that’s durable and portable\, or locking ourselves into a single vendor?\nWhat is our honest answer when a funder\, board member\, client\, or community partner asks how we use AI?\nWhat is our response if a staff member asks whether they can opt out of using AI tools?\n\nDon’t navigate these questions alone. Join Joshua Peskay\, Co-Founder of Meet the Moment\, for a practical and engaging conversation designed specifically for nonprofit leaders who want to move beyond reactive AI conversations and begin building a more thoughtful\, values-aligned approach across their organizations. \nWho should attend: Executive directors\, senior leaders\, operations and communications staff\, HR professionals\, program leaders\, and anyone helping shape organizational strategy\, culture\, or technology decisions within a nonprofit organization. \nThis virtual session is free and open to the public.
