​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.

A change in leadership is always a challenge, and COVID-19 is putting more pressure than ever on nonprofits. Especially now, not having a succession plan creates a huge risk for your organization if there’s a sudden vacancy in a key position. But leadership transitions also provide opportunities for growth if your organization has a culture focused on developing the human capital it needs for the future.

“I really appreciate the framing of succession planning as developing a culture of leadership continuity, rather than the development of a plan.”
Past Participant

Third Sector Company and Washington Nonprofits are pleased to offer this two-part webinar series to help your organization build such a culture. “Succession Planning Re-Imagined” will:

  •  Frame succession planning as essential to your organization’s long-term sustainability
  • Outline the essential components of an effective succession plan
  • Present five options for beginning your organization’s leadership continuity work
  • Provide specific tools and resources to support that work
  • Empower you to become the champion for succession planning and leadership continuity in your organization

“We are developing our succession plan this year for approval next year. One of the things I will do is use the inventory list to check for missing areas and as I draft sections it will incorporate a DEI lens for its inclusion and role in the overall assessment/review of the plan.”
