AI Community of Interest

Description

What:NEW AI Community of Interest
Date: Friday, February 27, 2026
Time: 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM Eastern Time

Why This Matters for You and Your Organization
Across North America, TECNA members are discovering that AI isn't just changing the industries we serve—it's transforming how we operate our own organizations. From automating newsletter curation to synthesizing meeting notes, TECNA members can and are finding ways to reclaim 8-12 hours per week through smart AI integration.

Learning in isolation is slow and expensive. The collective wisdom of the TECNA membership experimenting together will outpace what any single staff member could discover alone.

What is the AI COI?
This is practitioner-to-practitioner knowledge exchange.  This is where TECNA teams share real experiments, honest failures, and measurable wins.  Authentic peer learning from people who understand the unique challenges of running organizations like yours.

What you'll gain:

  • Practical AI experiments you may be able to implement immediately. Think newsletter automation, meeting intelligence, CRM optimization, public policy reviews, financial analysis, strategic planning, the list goes on and on!
  • Real results from peers who've already tested what works (and what doesn't)
  • Templates, prompts, and frameworks you can copy and customize
  • Time-saving strategies that free you to focus on high-value, flesh-pressing member work
  • A trusted network for real time problem solving

This is for you if:

  • You're curious about AI but don't know where to start
  • You've tried some AI tools but want to use them more strategically
  • You're overwhelmed by AI hype and need practical guidance
  • You want to learn from peers, not vendors
  • You have 90 minutes to invest in your council's future efficiency

This is for you even if:

  • You're a small council with limited budget
  • You're skeptical about AI
  • You think you're "too behind" to contribute. Beginners often have the most valuable perspectives!
  • You've had AI experiments fail.


All TECNA Members are invited to join the conversation. Register to receive Zoom login.
