AI How-To for Nonprofits with Brenda Foster

Media expert and self-taught "AI Evangelist" Brenda Foster spoke to Carolyn about ways to help nonprofit staff explore and begin using AI tools to work smarter, calling AI your new assistant. 

In addition to serving as Vanguard Communications’ Chief of Innovation, she is a communications researcher and strategic planner who has shaped direction and messaging for numerous successful national nonprofit and government campaigns. A former broadcast journalist, Brenda is a sought-after producer and speech, script and media writer for clients and spokespeople that include celebrities, CEOs, farmers, caregivers, advocates and youth.

Have you been dabbling in AI but don't really know what to try next? Are you worried about the impact of AI tools on your nonprofit but don't really know what questions to ask? Concerned about security? Have you set up your AI Acceptable Use policy yet? 

Brenda walks through these considerations and more, while firmly coming down on the side of enabling your staff - no matter your general tech-savviness - to learn to use the AI tools you want and feel comfortable with, to achieve your mission and decrease the "busy work." 

Listen for Brenda's "Five Questions to Ask" mid-episode, which distill her experience adopting AI tools at Vanguard and with their clients into questions to use to inform your philosophy, policies, training, and expectations around AI.
