DESCRIPTION:The Chamber's Nonprofit Affinity Group gathers the first Thursd
 ay of most months to connect with each other and benefit from some profess
 ional development. We start at 12:30 with time to network\, then have our 
 presenter begin at 1 pm. We welcome you to join us! This month: Using AI a
 nd other technology in NPO workplaces AI has been all the buzz for a year 
 or two\, but the big workplace question is how to use it efficiently and e
 ffectively. What can it do? What can't it do? What does one have to keep i
 n mind in giving it guidance? What are the best AI tools out there? And wh
 at other technologies can be helpful in getting nonprofit work done effici
 ently and at the level of quality that we all expect? Darien Marion-Burton
  is an early adopter of workplace technologies and a big fan of getting th
 ings done efficiently and well. Come learn his favorite tools and techniqu
 es! WHO IS OUR PRESENTER? Meet Darien Marion-Burton\, the Executive Direct
 or of the OPRF Chamber\, a true dynamo with a passion for community develo
 pment. Darien's educational journey led him to Augustana\, where he gradua
 ted in 2015 with an impressive resume: a B.A. in Business Management & Mar
 keting\, a minor in accounting\, and a certificate in nonprofit management
 . During his time in college\, he left a lasting impact by publishing grou
 ndbreaking research on Black student attrition in Predominantly White Inst
 itutions. In 2018\, driven by an entrepreneurial spirit that couldn't be c
 ontained\, Darien established his own venture\, D.M. Burton. His dedicatio
 n to excellence and innovation quickly made his brand synonymous with succ
 ess. Even in his downtime\, his passion for marketing shines through\, as 
 he often finds himself analyzing marketing statistics while sipping his fa
 vorite drink at a cozy bar. And when it's time to unwind\, you'll likely f
 ind him on his couch\, sharing a moment with his loyal and cherished puppy
 \, Travis. Location and Parking: We're glad to be hosted by the OPRF Museu
 m\, where our communities come to learn about our past so we can understan
 d our present. Thanks to the Museum for having us! Street parking availabl
 e on Lake and surrounding side streets (check signage)\n\nhttps://www.oprf
