  • AI Board Minutes
    Dec 10 2025

Also this week, we hear from a volunteer who has been treated very badly, and have an actual disagreement about whether or not to use AI to compile notes from a board meeting! Thanks for joining us, and set your “point of action” to remind yourself to send a question to Questions@NonprofitEverything.com!
