Nonprofit Workshop Calendar

Upcoming Workshops:

PLANNING FOR UNEXPECTED LEADERSHIP TRANSITIONS
Thursday, March 28, 1:00-2:30 pm
Virtual only, via Zoom, limited to 100 registrants

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 and that statistic seems true in our County as well.

Not having a succession plan creates a huge risk for your organization. At the same time, leadership transitions provide opportunities for growth if your organization has a culture focused on developing the human capital it needs for the future.

Join us for a 90-minute online workshop on succession planning. Participants completing this session will take away several tools and will be equipped to:

  • Assemble an inventory of organizational information critical to smooth operation during a leadership transition.
  • Utilize several other strategies to minimize disruption from unexpected vacancies in key leadership positions.
  • Recommend a board leadership pipeline strategy for their organization.
  • Facilitate board adoption of essential leadership succession policies.

This workshop is intended for executive directors, senior staff, and board members and officers. We will not be recording this session in order to try to provide a safe, vulnerable space to explore this topic.
