Highlight #1

No jargon, no coding, no overwhelm. This course translates AI into plain language and practical action — designed specifically for association CEOs and board directors.

Highlight #2 A real implementation roadmap

Walk away with a clear, step-by-step plan to introduce AI into your association — from identifying the right tools to governing their use and bringing your team along.

Highlight #3 Learn from someone who's done it

Annie Gibbins isn't just an AI author — she's actively implementing AI across the associations she manages right now. This is lived experience, not theory.

About the course

Your board is asking questions about AI you cannot yet answer. Your staff are using AI tools without a policy. And somewhere in the gap between the two, your members' data is quietly at risk. You are not alone. Most association and charity leaders are navigating AI without a roadmap — and without a course built for their specific context. Until now. AI for Association Leaders is the only AI governance and leadership course in the world built specifically for association and charity boards and CEOs. Not adapted from a commercial programme. Built from the ground up — by someone who has spent 15 years as an association CEO, implemented AI across multiple organisations, and wrote the #1 Bestselling book on the topic. What you will walk away with: In ten practical modules you will build the complete AI governance framework your organisation needs — a board-approved AI use policy, a privacy-compliant data protection framework, a five-dimension readiness assessment, and a concrete 90-day implementation roadmap tailored to your specific organisation. You will know exactly what your board is responsible for, what questions to ask, and how to approve an AI policy with confidence. You will know how to protect your members' data, what your Privacy Act obligations are, and what to do if something goes wrong. And you will have the implementation tools to actually move — not just understand AI in theory, but lead its adoption in practice. This course is for you if: - You are an association or charity CEO who needs to lead AI adoption but does not know where to start - You are a board director who is being asked AI governance questions you cannot yet answer - You have staff using AI tools informally and no policy in place - You want to protect your members' data and your organisation's reputation What is included: 40 video lessons · 10 downloadable resources including a complete AI Use Policy Template · Board AI Governance Checklist · AI Risk Register · 90-Day Implementation Roadmap · Course workbook with 55 reflection questions · Certificate of completion · 12+ verifiable CPD hours · Lifetime access · 30-day money-back guarantee The investment: $997 AUD Pre-register now and be first to know when this course goes live.

Annie Gibbins AI Book

Annie Gibbins

I'm Annie Gibbins — association CEO, AICD Graduate, Grand Stevie Award Winner for Women in Business, and the #1 Bestselling Author of AI for Association Leaders. I didn't come to AI as a tech expert. I came to it as a CEO who was watching her sector fall behind — and who needed practical answers, not theoretical frameworks. For fifteen years I led associations in Australia, navigating every challenge the role presents. Difficult boards. Financial pressure. Membership decline. Staff performance. And then AI arrived — and suddenly I was also navigating something none of us had been trained for. I made mistakes. I implemented tools without adequate privacy governance. I had board conversations I wasn't fully prepared for. I watched talented staff become anxious about what AI meant for their roles. And through all of it, I learned what actually works — the governance frameworks, the policy provisions, the implementation sequence, the leadership approach — for association leaders specifically. I wrote the book on AI for associations because that resource didn't exist. I built this course because the book wasn't enough. Leaders need the policy template. The board checklist. The risk register. The 90-day roadmap. The tools that turn understanding into action. My goal with this course is simple: every association and charity leader who completes it should feel confident leading AI adoption in their organisation — protecting their members, informing their board, and building genuine capability that serves their sector for years to come. The sector needs leaders who will do this well. I built this course for them.
