Executive leadership changes in nonprofit organizations can be daunting. However, when managed effectively and efficiently, these transitions can maintain and even strengthen the organization, especially if planned for BEFORE the change happens. This three-hour session defines succession planning and provides a framework for what should be done before, during and after the transition occurs. Take-aways include preparation to assure the nonprofit is stable and secure, transition roles, and key elements of successful transitions.
Who should attend? Board members, CEOs / Executive Directors, Transition and Search Committees, Funders – anyone who is concerned with the long-term success of a nonprofit organization.
