From Certification to Skills: Preparing Nonprofits for the AI Economy with Naria Santa Lucia
Streams straight from the publisher. PodNod never proxies or re-hosts episode audio.
With AI adoption exploding, what does that actually mean for how you grow your team, your donors, and your impact?
Naria Santa Lucia brought SO much energy and joy to her MC role at the Microsoft Global Nonprofit Leaders Summit, that I had to sit down with her to hear how nonprofit leaders can build practical pathways for using AI in their day-to-day work and cut through the hype.
Naria also brings a perspective every nonprofit needs to hear: take the big swing, stay true to your mission, and don’t pivot just to chase funding. When you focus on real impact (and communicate it clearly!) you’ll draw the right supporters in.
