Do Good Days Lunch & Learn April 25: What's April Without AI?

Few words in our everyday lives strike more fear than "Artificial Intelligence" (or AI for short). For some, AI is a valuable tool that helps work be more efficient. For others, AI is feared as a replacement for positions in the workforce. In this session, we'll explore the myths, the truths, the benefits, and the challenges of working with AI in non-profit organizations. 

Join us for a lunch and learn Thursday, April 25 from 11:30 - 1:00 hosted by the Community Foundation for Western Iowa with speaker Dr. AnnMarie Marlier.

Dr. AnnMarie Marlier serves as the Executive Director of the Business Ethics Alliance. Before coming to the Alliance, she spent most of her professional career in higher education administration as an Academic Dean, Director of Institutional Effectiveness, and Director of Student Activities, among other positions. AnnMarie personally developed and directed several academic programs and taught most levels of courses ranging from pre-GED to doctoral.  When not serving in higher education roles, AnnMarie worked to develop and lead curricula and training for corporate, not-for-profit, and consulting organizations.  She also owned two businesses and worked as a Manager for the Disney Stores.  

AnnMarie earned her Ph.D. in Urban Education with a concentration in Adult, Continuing, and Higher Education and a Minor in Business Administration from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Her research focused on faculty development, leadership, and organizational studies.  She also earned a Master of Education with a concentration in Adult Education from Carroll University and a Bachelor of Arts from St. Norbert College, majoring in Communications/Media/Theater and English.
