This may be ambitious, but I am wondering if we could get in touch with some AI developers in the Boston and Cambridge areas who are developing AI tools for business, creativity, wellness, and other aspects, and ask them to speak on a panel and take questions from us at the convention. Alternately, we could have a panel of affiliate members talk about their experiences, using AI tools and the dues and don\u2019ts of using AI. I like the idea of inviting the companies because they could get to know us and share resources with us, and we could give them information about our interest in using AI. but the membership panel would work well too. I\u2019m curious if other people have suggestions or might want to work with me on coming up with a presentation on AI. Shara, what do you think?</div><div><br></div><div>Jen.</div><div><br></div><div><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Jan 13, 2026, at 9:04\u202fAM, Shara Winton via Massachusetts-NFB <massachusetts-nfb@nfbnet.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">\ufeff<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"><style>@font-face { font-family: "Cambria Math"; }
