Succession and Transition Planning for Nonprofits (Board/Staff)
This event is part of the series:
Duke University - Continuing Studies
September 27, 2016
9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Anne Griffin
Leadership change can be one of the most challenging times in a nonprofit organization’s growth. Studies indicate that the frequency of executive transitions will continue to increase significantly. Although this period in a nonprofit’s lifestyle is fraught with risk, when handled well organizations can use the event as a time to strengthen organizational capacity. Poor transitions can threaten or disrupt an organization’s ability to provide services, raise revenue, or manage staff.
Key Learning Objectives:
- Help nonprofit leaders plan for executive transitions effectively
- Develop an effective emergency succession plan
- Implement a strategic framework for succession
