Stop Chasing Donors.

Start Building Legacy.

Most nonprofits are stuck in a cycle of reactive fundraising — sprinting from grant to grant, event to event, with no clear path to the generational impact their mission deserves. This cohort changes that.

Facilitated by Sarau Becerra and Brian Carr — strategic philanthropic advisors with over $50 million raised and 35 years of combined experience — this is not a lecture. It’s a guided, interactive experience designed to challenge how you think about donor relationships and funding growth.

01

Donor Development

Cultivate transformational donors and open pathways to major and legacy gifts.

02

Strategic Partnerships

Connect with mission-aligned partners and networks that expand your reach.

03

Sustainable Funding

Build the long-term infrastructure that stabilizes and grows your mission.

You’ll leave with Tangible Tools

The one question every nonprofit leader must ask when cultivating a transformational donor — and why most never think to ask it.

A practical strategy for strengthening partnerships that multiply your mission’s reach beyond what you could accomplish alone.

A new framework for thinking about long-term sustainability — not just next year’s budget, but your organization’s legacy.

A Discussion on AI (Artificial Intelligence)

San Diego Christian Chamber of Commerce Presents

A Panel Discussion:

AI in the Workplace

Right now, somewhere in your industry, a competitor is using artificial intelligence to work faster, serve better, and win business you didn’t even know was on the table. They are not waiting for the perfect moment. They are not asking whether AI is “right for them.” They are already using it and pulling ahead while you read this.

The question is not whether AI is coming for your business. It is already here. The only question that matters right now is this: Who is going to guide it?

On Thursday, July 30, from 7 to 9 AM at The Legacy Center in Mission Valley, the San Diego Christian Chamber of Commerce is bringing together three of the most compelling voices in AI and leadership in the country.

These are not theorists. These are not hype merchants. These are men who have done the work, built the systems, led the teams, and are ready to hand YOU what they know.

Dr. David Sathiaraj

Dr. David Sathiaraj brings the AI science. He is going to make AI real, practical, and immediately applicable to what you do every day. He has built these systems for the Navy, for the nation’s ports, and for healthcare networks across America. He knows what works and he is ready to translate every bit of it for you.

Dr. David Sathiaraj serves as a CTO & CPO at Ridgeline, where he leads the development of agentic AI solutions for government and enterprise clients. He holds a PhD in Computer Science and Engineering from Louisiana State University, with a background in AI, machine learning, and big data analytics.

His career has spanned defense, government, healthcare, and environmental sectors. Prior to Ridgeline, he has been a founding member of 3 startups (two in AI and one in Fintech). In prior roles, he also has served as a Director of Data Science at Trabus Technologies, where he helped develop AI-powered tools for U.S. Navy submarine maintenance and waterway intelligence across American container ports.

David also holds an Adjunct Professorship at Point Loma Nazarene University, where he seeks to develop the next generation of data scientists in San Diego.

J Brad Britton

J Brad Britton brings the leadership wisdom. He is going to remind you that the greatest competitive advantage you will ever have is something no algorithm can touch. Your wisdom. Your discernment. Your calling. After 40 years of proof he is going to show you exactly how to lead technology instead of being led by it.

J Brad Britton has spent more than 40 years in sales and leadership development, working with accomplished leaders across more than a dozen industries. One foundation of his work is this: “There’s artificial intelligence. There’s no artificial wisdom.” Through the HeartMind Leader brand, he shows business owners how to put AI to work without handing over the judgment, character, and wisdom that only people can bring.

Ish Ramos

Ish Ramos brings the street level, real world business strategy that ties it all together. He is going to hand you the business framework that ties it all together. After 23 plus years of building, scaling, and selling companies he knows how to turn a great morning into a business that actually runs, grows, and serves your life the way it was designed to.

Ish is the founder of Core Compassing and one of the most battle tested business builders in San Diego. Since 2003 he has started, grown, and profitably sold companies across more than a dozen industries including restaurants, construction, SaaS, real estate, med spas, banks, wineries, and more. His conviction is grounded in Ephesians 5:16 and his promise is one every entrepreneur needs to hear: your business should work for you. Not the other way around.

Three perspectives. Three areas of mastery. One morning.

One decision standing between you and all of it.

Speaker: SENATOR BRIAN JONES

Live at the San Diego Christian Chamber | September 24

Senator Brian Jones, California’s Senate Republican Leader and the highest ranking Republican in state government, is coming to speak to our Chamber. Senator Jones represents San Diego County’s 40th District, but his story starts long before Sacramento.

Before politics, he built businesses. He sold cars. He worked in commercial real estate. He served as an associate pastor.

He knows what it means to build something from the ground up, and to lead with conviction. Now he’s bringing that perspective straight to our Chamber floor, sharing an inside look at the issues shaping California, the challenges facing business owners, and what leadership rooted in faith and service looks like at the highest levels of state government.

This is a rare chance to hear directly from one of San Diego’s most influential voices in Sacramento, in an intimate setting built for real conversation.
