AI is transforming how mission-driven organizations work, and the question is no longer if you will use it, but how. For many nonprofits and associations, the challenge is knowing where to begin. Which tools are safe? How can staff use them responsibly? And how do you align AI adoption with your mission and values? It is easy to feel overwhelmed and unsure of where to start.

Join PTKO’s Mimi Yeh and nonprofit technology and AI expert, George Danilovics, for “Your AI Journey: A Nonprofit’s Guide to Getting Started.” This session introduces a clear, practical, and people-first roadmap to help you move from uncertainty to confident action.

“Your AI Journey” reframes AI adoption from a daunting technical challenge into a familiar manageable change initiative. The session will show you how to begin with collaborative “listening tours,” identify early opportunities, assemble an internal “AI Navigators” team to champion innovation, and select a secure, enterprise-grade AI chat tool to build organizational literacy.

In this session, you will learn how to:

• Cut through AI hype and define a clear, people-first path forward by reframing adoption as a structured change-management process
• Identify early opportunities through staff engagement and empower an internal team to lead innovation
• Select secure, enterprise-grade tools while building staff confidence for responsible, mission-driven AI use
