Leadership Greater Washington and Joe Paul ('24) of OptimaNovaAI invite LGW Members to a five-part Executive AI Masterclass.

You've joined us before to learn all about what artificial intelligence is. This Masterclass covers what you do with it as a leader.

It's a leadership course built around the decisions only you can make: what your organization hands to AI, what it never does, and how you explain both to your staff and your board. 

Designed for LGW members who carry decision making authority: CEOs, executive directors, agency heads, C-suite leaders, and board chairs, across every sector the region runs on.

What Participants Take With Them

  • A digital certificate and a shareable badge.
  • A private participant hub at lgw.optimanova.ai with the workbook, session materials, recordings of the virtual sessions, and a curated prompt library.
  • A one-page AI use policy and a 90-day AI plan for their organization, built in the sessions and taken home in hand.
  • A cohort peer community on LinkedIn for ongoing learning and support.
  • Optional one-on-one coaching and implementation support after the program, arranged directly with OptimaNova.
