The “consultants” who gather include just-starting-out and seasoned marketing professionals, as well as faculty, staff, students, and alumni of Champlain College and other area colleges melding the community with academia. The nonprofit client completes a questionnaire outlining the marketing topic about which they are seeking advice. Consultants get access to the questionnaire in advance of the meeting to get their creative juices flowing in anticipation of sharing out during the 90-minute session.
Consultants can attend just an occasional meeting or join in the conversation every month. This is a great opportunity to network, build experience, and pay it forward. Learn more about Kelley Marketing Group at https://thekelleymarketinggroup.org/

Lunch & Learn: Prompt Craft and AI Fluency: Elevating Your Use of Generative Tools
2025-09-18 12:00 - 13:00 | Webinar / Virtual, United States
Most generative AI content is generic by design—but your thinking doesn’t have to be. This workshop is for professionals ready to move beyond casual prompting into more intentional, thoughtful collaboration with AI tools. Drawing on structured frameworks (RACE, PARE, RAPPEL) and the AI Fluency model, we’ll explore how to design prompts that reflect your goals, values, and context—not just your task. You’ll work hands-on with your chosen AI platform to practice real-world use cases, refine your own prompt style, and consider how fluency—not just functionality—shapes trust, quality, and effectiveness in AI-assisted work.
