Presentation Information:

Title: Understanding AI and How You Can Use it to Support Your Team

Scripture calls us to steward every resource with wisdom and purpose, including technology. When understood and applied intentionally, AI can become a powerful tool to support our teams, strengthen the work they are already doing, and help organizations serve people more effectively. This seminar is not about replacing people with technology or teaching which buttons to click. It is about helping leaders understand how AI works, where it can genuinely add value, and how to integrate it in ways that empower people rather than replace them. Attendees will explore how AI is already being used, identify the right opportunities within their organizations, ask better questions, and thoughtfully incorporate technology while keeping people, mission, and values at the center. The goal is to help leaders lead with wisdom rather than fear as AI continues to reshape the way we work.

What the morning will cover

Using AI safely: Understand data security, governance, “shadow AI,” and appropriate organizational guardrails. Participants will consider the level of control their organization needs and how to put it into practice through clear policies and appropriate tools.
Running your organization on AI: See how AI can connect information across business systems while respecting role-based access, read-only permissions, organizational definitions, human review, and accountability. Participants will begin formulating a plan on how to get started utilizing AI in their organizations.
The church and AI: Examine how churches and ministries are approaching AI and consider biblical principles related to human dignity, truth, pastoral care, data stewardship, fairness, and spiritual responsibility.
Practical ways to save time: Explore everyday applications across email, calendars, meetings, communication, research, data, administration, and planning—with people remaining responsible for reviewing the results.
Discussion and next steps: Apply the framework to your organization’s risks and opportunities, then identify a practical next conversation or action to take back to your leadership team.

Participants will leave with a draft or review of their AI use policy, a framework for identifying data and potential AI use cases, prompts for developing an AI playbook grounded in biblical principles, and a practical list of time-saving applications.

Family Business, Next Generation Leadership

Back by popular demand, one of our most requested Business for Breakfast topics returns for the final breakfast event of the year.

Family-owned businesses are the backbone of the Muskegon Lakeshore economy, but transitioning leadership from one generation to the next comes with unique opportunities and challenges. Join us as local business leaders share their experiences navigating succession planning, preserving company culture, and preparing the next generation to lead.

Through an engaging panel discussion, you'll hear firsthand stories of successful leadership transitions, lessons learned along the way, and practical advice for businesses planning for the future. Whether your transition is years away or already underway, you'll gain valuable insight into building a legacy that lasts.

What to Expect:

A panel discussion featuring local family-owned businesses
Real-world perspectives on succession planning and next-generation leadership
Practical strategies for preparing your business for long-term success
Breakfast included

Breakfast Menu

Join us as we wrap up another year of Business for Breakfast with a conversation that celebrates the businesses shaping our community today while preparing for tomorrow. Whether you're part of a family business, planning for future leadership, or simply interested in learning from local success stories, you'll leave with ideas and inspiration you can apply to your own organization.

Note: Event price will increase 10 days prior to the event date. The price increase does not apply to Breakfast Bundle users.

This event contributes to the "Attract" and "Retain" goals of the 2026 Annual Theme: The ART of Business.
