WORKSHOP: Govern First, Adopt Wisely
A practical AI governance talk for nonprofit leaders and boards.
About this Service
Eighty percent of Canadian nonprofits are already using AI. Ten percent have a policy. If your staff are using these tools and you don't have a plan yet, this hour gives you a framework to decide, on purpose, what your organization will do about it. Who it's for: Boards, staff teams, communities of practice, sector associations and accreditation bodies. Built through direct conversations with hundreds of Canadian nonprofit leaders, for teams without a legal department, an IT team or a risk manager to hand this to. What the hour covers: Why nobody can see clearly right now, and why you are not behind · Your mission and values as the AI decision tool you already have · Three pillars, the eight conversations a real policy covers, and the two-layer policy your board approves once and your team updates as tools change · What Canadian law already applies: privacy, human rights, CRA, OCAP and CARE · Three starting points, so you leave knowing which one is yours What people leave with: One message to send the whole team this week that closes the most dangerous gap · The AI Policy Starter Questions take-home · The Data Practices Primer · The full Nonprofit AI Policy and Governance Framework, free to use and share · A reference list of the Canadian legal sources Format and investment: 60 minutes including Q&A, interactive throughout. Online (Google Meet or Zoom) or in person, travel billed separately. From $750 CAD for a single nonprofit or charity. From $1,500 for networks, associations and conferences. Tailored versions, shaped to your organization, are quoted after a short call. Bringing it to your members? Multiple organizations can join one session. This talk is one of several, so it can also run as part of a series. "The session was practical, engaging, interactive, and highly relevant to the realities facing nonprofit organizations today. Attendees left with actionable insights and tangible supports they could immediately apply within their own organizations. We would recommend Sarah as a facilitator and thought partner."
