Future Forward: AI and Nonprofits (In-person Event)

Thu, 21 May 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Artificial intelligence and related technologies are increasingly part of nonprofit work, showing up in fundraising, marketing, data management, grant writing, and everyday tools that staff already use. For many nonprofits, the challenge isn’t always adopting new technology, but understanding how to use it responsibly, effectively, and in ways that support mission-driven work.

Future Forward: AI and Nonprofits is a one-day, in-person conference hosted by the Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits that brings together nonprofit professionals to explore how these tools are being used across the sector. The conference will feature a keynote session and multiple breakout sessions focused on practical applications, emerging issues, and real-world considerations for nonprofits of all sizes. Throughout the day, speakers will also connect these topics to leadership, helping attendees think through policies, staff guidance, culture, and accountability as AI becomes more commonplace in nonprofit work. Sessions will address topics such as data security and privacy, marketing and communications, fundraising and grant writing, philanthropy, equity considerations, digital technology for good, and the use of AI to support organizational decision-making.

This conference is designed for nonprofit leaders and staff who want a clearer, more realistic understanding of how AI fits into nonprofit work today and how to approach it thoughtfully moving forward.

Date: May 21, 2026

Time: 9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. (Registration opens at 8:30 a.m.)

[STILLWATER] The Partnership: Nonprofit Partnership Training for Executive Directors & Board Chairs

Thu, 28 May 2026 13:30:00 GMT

Strong nonprofit leadership depends on a healthy, effective partnership between the executive director and board chair. Together, these two roles provide the comprehensive leadership every nonprofit needs, balancing governance, strategy, vision, and day-to-day execution.

The relationship between an executive and board chair is nuanced. Differences in communication styles, unclear expectations, and shifting responsibilities can quietly strain even the most committed leaders. When the partnership is aligned, however, it strengthens the entire organization.

In partnership with Meridian Technology Center, the Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits is offering Nonprofit Partnership Training for Executive Directors & Board Chairs. This limited workshop is specifically for executive directors and board chairs serving Stillwater and the surrounding area, and will serve as a dedicated space for local nonprofit leadership teams to strengthen their working relationships, connect with peers facing similar challenges, and establish a clear framework for success.

Whether you are beginning a new leadership partnership or refining one that has been in place for years, this seminar provides practical guidance and structured conversation designed to support your organization’s long-term health.

Participants will:

Gain practical tools to strengthen the executive director-board chair partnership.
Clarify roles, expectations, and shared leadership responsibilities.
Explore common governance and leadership challenges.
Identify communication gaps and build more effective collaboration.
Engage in peer discussion and micro-consulting with fellow Stillwater-area leaders.

Click here! Registration is available through Meridian Technology Center

May 28 | 8:30 AM – 11:30 AM | $15
Hosted at Meridian Technology Center – Stillwater Campus, 1312 S Sangre Rd.
Breakfast included with registration

Please note: The payment supports Meridian Tech’s direct event expenses, including food and printed materials. The Partnership itself remains free of charge. This fee is not for attendance, but rather to ensure that hosting costs are fully covered, particularly as some attendees may not be OKCNP members.

Jeri D. Holmes, Esq.

President & Founder, Nonprofit Solutions Law

Jeri Holmes received her Bachelor of Science from Oklahoma State University in 1986 and her Juris Doctor from the University of Oklahoma in 1995. After practicing for several years outside the nonprofit realm, Jeri’s volunteer work led her to the discovery that the unique nature of tax-exempt organizations called for a specialized legal advisor, but, due to the small nature of many nonprofit organizations, they could not afford to keep an attorney on staff. In 2004, Jeri founded Nonprofit Solutions Law, P.C. as an answer to this need and has remained a legal advisor to tax-exempt entities ever since.

As a lawyer for tax-exempt organizations and government entities, Jeri helps create a foundation for future growth by ensuring legal compliance and strong governance. Her services extend beyond simply providing legal counsel to organizations. Jeri’s goal is to ensure ongoing success by taking a holistic approach to organizational health. By guiding organizations in drafting and amending bylaws and policies, helping to navigate contractual and business relationships, and assisting in acquiring or changing tax-exempt status, Jeri ensures that governing documents and operational efficiencies are strong and up to date with legal regulations and best practices. Jeri facilitates board trainings, staff trainings, and legal responsibility classes to ensure that those governing policies are understood and implemented, as well as making boards aware of their legal duties and best practices. She also aids organizations in modifying gift agreements or charitable trusts under UPMIFA.

Where significant challenges or restructuring call for more in-depth support, Jeri has served as interim CEO to provide organizations with guidance until they achieve stability. Jeri also teaches the Law and Nonprofit Organizations class for the Master of Arts in Nonprofit Leadership program at Oklahoma City University and is a member of the 29th Leadership Oklahoma Class. Currently, Jeri volunteers on the Board of Dale K. Graham Veterans Foundation, and as a member of the Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits’ Education, Policy, and Advocacy Committee.

Alexandra Towler-Bliss

CEO, Culture Connection Law

I founded Culture Connection Law because I was so saddened by watching good folks quit or suffer in important organizations due to a lack of communication and connection, often resulting in the organizations I love losing extremely valuable team members. These people were leaving in large part because they felt unsupported and undervalued by their leadership, a problem which could be mended with a few hard conversations about what is working and what is not working and what support looks like for that team and individual person.

Culture Connection Law was founded as a remedy, seeking to teach folks when and how to have difficult conversations and how to stay connected to each other in the midst of real feedback. These tools allow teams to feel safe, secure, and prepared for the tough times. And, establishing these skills ahead of time means that, when the inevitable challenges do arise, our teams are prepared and folks are less likely to jump ship.

I believe folks deserve to feel connected and supported by their teams. And, when folks are safe, they make better, more creative decisions for the organizations supporting our community.
