WHAT IS SUCCESSION PLANNING?
It is not a way to say, "Your time is up."
The word “succession” is met with a variety of responses. It can feel like a leader’s days are numbered until a replacement is found. Or it can be a word that encourages a continuity of leadership by planning ahead to develop a leadership pipeline in times of an unforeseen vacancy.

BOARD CHAIRS ACADEMY

How is your board doing right now? Could it evolve to a stronger level of leadership for the cause your organization was created to serve?

If any of the situations below sound familiar, then the answer is may be “Yes:”

There’s confusion about our board's duties vs. our executive director's duties.
We have new board members who don’t have much previous board experience.
We have no new board members; everyone on the board has been serving for many years.
Our board members aren’t comfortable with the idea of fundraising.
We usually struggle to find the next person to step in as board chair.

We are proud to announce that Board Chairs Academy is now an online learning and virtual community experience. Each module includes interactive presentations, assignments, and group discussions, as well as access to a private LinkedIn group and three hours of complimentary board consulting.
