Nonprofit Tech for Good

As an experiment, I asked ChatGPT to look at my conversation history and suggest a list of professional peers. The response listed seven people I know, most of whom I have collaborated with in some way. How does it DO this? (Rhetorical question; please do not respond with a primer on LLMs.) It's almost spooky. "Here are some professionals and thought leaders who align with your interests in nonprofit management, technology strategy, and collaboration: Beth Kanter – Nonprofit tech expert and co-author of The Networked Nonprofit and The Smart Nonprofit. She focuses on digital strategy, wellbeing, and tech for good. Allison Fine – Writer and strategist known for her work on social media, digital tools, and innovation in the nonprofit sector (often collaborates with Beth Kanter). Amy Sample Ward – CEO of NTEN (Nonprofit Technology Network), a major voice in nonprofit tech adoption and community-driven change. Steve MacLaughlin – VP of Innovation & Analytics at Blackbaud, often writes and speaks about nonprofit data, digital transformation, and fundraising trends. Trista Harris – Futurist and former foundation executive who focuses on strategic foresight in philanthropy and nonprofits. Debra Askanase – Digital engagement strategist who helps nonprofits use technology for outreach and collaboration. Heather Mansfield – Founder of Nonprofit Tech for Good, widely known for her work on nonprofit digital communications and training. These folks often share tools, frameworks, and ideas that overlap with the kinds of things you’ve been exploring."
