              Nonprofit Affinity Group / Using AI and other technologies in NPO workplaces

               

               

              The Chamber's Nonprofit Affinity Group gathers the first Thursday of most months to connect with each other and benefit from some professional 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 and 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 effectively.  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?  
               
              Darien 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!  


              WHO IS OUR PRESENTER?


              Meet 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.

              In 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.
               
              Even 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.
               

              Location and Parking:
              We're glad to be hosted by the OPRF Museum, where our communities come to learn about our past so we can understand our present. Thanks to the Museum for having us!
