What can it do? What can't it do? What does one have to keep in mind in giving it guidance? What are the best AI tools out there? And what other technologies can be helpful in getting nonprofit work done efficiently and at the level of quality that we all expect? \n\n \n\nDarien Marion-Burton is an early adopter of workplace technologies and a big fan of getting things done efficiently and well. Come learn his favorite tools and techniques! \n\n\n\nWHO IS OUR PRESENTER?\n\n\n\n\n\nMeet Darien Marion-Burton\, the Executive Director of the OPRF Chamber\, a true dynamo with a passion for community development. Darien's educational journey led him to Augustana\, where he graduated in 2015 with an impressive resume: a B.A. in Business Management & Marketing\, a minor in accounting\, and a certificate in nonprofit management. During his time in college\, he left a lasting impact by publishing groundbreaking research on Black student attrition in Predominantly White Institutions.\n\nIn 2018\, driven by an entrepreneurial spirit that couldn't be contained\, Darien established his own venture\, D.M. Burton. His dedication to excellence and innovation quickly made his brand synonymous with success.\n\n \n\nEven in his downtime\, his passion for marketing shines through\, as he often finds himself analyzing marketing statistics while sipping his favorite drink at a cozy bar. And when it's time to unwind\, you'll likely find him on his couch\, sharing a moment with his loyal and cherished puppy\, Travis.\n\n \n\n\n\nLocation and Parking:\n\nWe're glad to be hosted by the OPRF Museum\, where our communities come to learn about our past so we can understand our present.
