SUMMARY:Strategic AI for Nonprofit Leaders
DESCRIPTION:This TechSoup session isn’t about tools. It’s about fixing the decision layer that comes first. Most nonprofits are repeating the same pattern we saw with digital: buying the tech\, underestimating human needs\, burning out the team\, and then blaming the tech. AI accelerates that cycle. You’ll learn how to move from scattered\, individual use to a more coordinated\, human-led approach grounded in your mission\, values\, and your team’s real capacity.
