What does “succession planning” mean in your organization? Nonprofit executives and their boards often react nervously, even negatively, to the idea of leadership succession discussions. And according to BoardSource, 73% of nonprofits don’t have a written succession plan.

Those organizations face significant risk should they experience a sudden vacancy in a key position. But leadership transitions also provide opportunities for growth if an organization has a culture focused on developing the human capital it needs for the future.

Starting with the belief that an organization’s people are its most valuable resource, this session will demonstrate that succession planning is more than just preparing for a vacancy in the executive director’s position – it’s about creating and sustaining leadership and talent continuity throughout the organization.
