Big transformations take time, and this one is moving faster than most. Wide access to AI tools means a faster pace of innovation, and key governance questions. Grateful to sit down with @stephaniemehta at bbcon 2026 to chat about these opportunities.

We're at #bbcon 2026 this week where we just unveiled the latest from @blackbaud: Platform for Good: Every product, every AI feature, and all of our intelligence in one unified operating system. Already running underneath existing workflows. Lantern: the world’s first domain-specific language model purpose-built for fundraising to help social impact organizations get the strongest outcomes from AI, built using @databricks. I couldn’t be more excited for this next era at Blackbaud and what it will unlock for social impact organizations. Learn more: blkb.co/4df9t22

Nonprofits provide a critical role in society as a shock absorber and stabilization layer that often operates in the background. I wrote for @FastCompany about the role and responsibility we all have to make sure the social impact sector has the support required to build AI maturity with intention, putting trust at the center. More to come on this topic and many others next week at #bbcon blkb.co/4yUDGM0

At #bbcon 2025, I sat down with Vanessa Longacre-Wilcox from @FredHutch Cancer Center on building a fundraising strategy that holds - the team alignment, the data infrastructure, and the vision that links process to impact. It's a tough task for any team, but they're approaching it exactly the right way. Next week, we’ll continue more conversations and connections like this at #bbcon 2026 in Columbus, Ohio: blkb.co/4qszEHU blkb.co/4yM3Qk1

AI’s impact on society and business is incredibly complex. Leadership should acknowledge the change by spearheading the revitalization of their business. Organizations benefit when leaders take personal responsibility for understanding the technology, educating themselves, and driving the transformation. They can assign operational leadership to others, but they cannot remain on the sidelines. Read more from my conversation with Investment Reports in @washingtonpost. blkb.co/4yASOhH

The global scale of corporate impact teams can be remarkable. At #bbcon 2025, Mollie Phukan of @WellsFargo shared the vision and technology that’s powering thousands of volunteer hours during their Community Impact Week across India and the Philippines, as just one example of their global impact. Later this month, we'll see you in Columbus for more conversations like this at #bbcon 2026: blkb.co/4qszEHU blkb.co/4x7ccS6

At Blackbaud's Corporate Impact Summit, I previewed how AI - including through our new Development Agent - is unlocking the next great chapter of scale for social impact. It's always great connecting in person with colleagues, especially at a time of change like this. blkb.co/4d2UmZa

Last #bbcon, I sat down with Dwight Dozier, CIO of the Georgia Tech Foundation and one of our 2025 Blackbaud Impact Awards winners, to discuss how they’re capitalizing on the latest trends and tools to strengthen donor relationships, deliver better results, and drive impact. Looking forward to connecting again with social impact leaders at bbcon 2026. blkb.co/3U5g7Bi

This year, we're celebrating 250 years of American democracy - the leaders, the sacrifices, and the vision that changed the world. We're also recognizing what sustains it: citizens, civil society, and business as the backbone of our democracy alongside government. My latest in @FastCompany: blkb.co/45MtKri

Schools teach students about the great transformations in history. We're living through one right now as AI changes how we work, learn and create. Great week in Boston with our K-12 community at the @Blackbaud K–12 User Conference, exploring how AI can transform school operations and strengthen relationships with students and families.

As technology accelerates and business evolves, corporate governance is constantly changing. It was great going deep on leadership, trends, and governance last week with my colleagues at the @NACD Carolinas Chapter. Organizations like the National Association of Corporate Directors are making sure businesses—and the people who depend on them—are ready for what's ahead.
