Leadership Oakland Breakfast - AI Without The Hype

AI isn’t just for tech giants and trend-chasers. It’s already reshaping how professionals across industries work — from legal and housing to IT. In this no-fluff, hype-free panel, moderator Kendra Corman will guide a practical conversation with three leaders who are using AI right now in their daily operations.

Join Chris Martella (Member at Dawda PLC), Kirsten Elliott (President & CEO, Community Housing Network), and William Bluford (VP and vCIO at Huntington Technology) as they share honest insights on how AI is saving time, improving workflows, and helping people — without replacing the humans behind the work.

You’ll walk away with grounded examples, lessons learned, and a better sense of what really matters when applying AI in real-world settings — whether you’re a techie or not.
