District VII & VIII Annual Conference 2026

The Advancement AI Architect: Building Your Team or Organization's AI Strategic Direction  

Sunday, March 8, 2026
8:30 AM - 11:30 AM PT
Speaker(s): Manaf Mansure, Associate Vice President of Advancement Strategy and Campaigns and Chief of Staff, San José State University
Preconference Workshop

Educational advancement has reached a pivot point where artificial intelligence is no longer a novelty but a core operational variable. While individual adoption is high, institutional strategy often lags behind, creating a "strategy gap" that hinders long-term growth. This session moves beyond basic tool proficiency to empower advancement professionals as architects—leaders who design the organizational frameworks that prioritize human-driven relationships over machine-driven efficiency.

This workshop provides a structured laboratory to identify and re-engineer workflows that can be transformed by AI. By grounding our approach in industry trends, peer-institution best practices, and the latest CASE Insights research, we will explore why a flexible "strategic direction" is more effective than a rigid plan in a rapidly evolving technological landscape. You will leave with a concrete 90-day pilot blueprint and the leadership frameworks necessary to move your team or organization from tech-first tinkering to deliberate and integrated strategy.
