SUMMARY:AI Community of Interest
DESCRIPTION:What:NEW AI Community of Interest\nDate: Friday\, February 27\, 2026\nTime: 2:00 PM   3:30 PM Eastern TimeWhy This Matters for You and Your Organization\nAcross 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?\nThis 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 customizeTime-saving strategies that free you to focus on high-value\, flesh-pressing member workA trusted network for real time problem solvingThis is for you if:You're curious about AI but don't know where to startYou've tried some AI tools but want to use them more strategicallyYou're overwhelmed by AI hype and need practical guidanceYou want to learn from peers\, not vendorsYou have 90 minutes to invest in your council's future efficiencyThis is for you even if:You're a small council with limited budgetYou're skeptical about AIYou think you're "too behind" to contribute. Beginners often have the most valuable perspectives!You've had AI experiments fail.\nAll TECNA Members are invited to join the conversation.
