Exit Unprepared: Emergency Succession Planning for Nonprofit Organizations
| Date: | Wednesday, June 6, 2007 |
| Time: | 8:30am-10:30am |
| Overview: |
While we all hope that the leader of our nonprofit will be able to plan for his or her exit, the fact is the departure of an organization’s chief executive is most often unplanned. Health problems, new opportunities, family obligations, and organizational conflicts all can lead to a sudden, unplanned departure. Such a departure can throw an organization into turmoil and lead to disastrous consequences for board, staff, clients, and community. An Emergency Succession Plan can help your organization prepare for the unexpected. This breakfast session will use a case study and group discussion to explore the key elements of an emergency succession plan and identify the benefits of this type of planning. Join us for a fun, high-energy, interactive workshop! By attending this breakfast roundtable you will: * Gain a greater awareness of the risks associated with unplanned executive turnover * Learn about the benefits of creating an emergency succession plan * Increase your understanding of the key elements in a well-developed emergency succession plan |
| Details: | Who should attend? * Executive directors/CEOs of nonprofit organizations * Board members * Foundation representatives * Senior managers with responsibility for planning * Consultants and others that help nonprofit organizations with planning, executive search, and transition management |
