Succession Planning for Associations & Non-Profit Organizations
It is incumbent upon organizations’ Boards and leaders to
proactively plan for the inevitable departure of the chief staff
executive. Without proper succession planning, precious time
slips by as an organization prepares to search for new
leadership. Focus on key objectives diminishes and staff
energies and talents become misdirected. Against the backdrop of
Sarbanes-Oxley, protecting the financial and functional
integrity of your organization during transition should be a
paramount interest.
Association Strategies Inc. helps you consider the most pressing
succession planning issues for your non-profit / association up front: How do you manage the communication aspects to
staff and key stakeholders? How do we develop future leaders in
your organization – both on staff and throughout your
leadership? Who will be on the search committee? Will we conduct
the search in-house or retain an outside firm? Will there be an
interim executive? How are we developing staff to handle a
change in leadership?
Available as a stand-alone service or as part of a more
comprehensive search, our succession planning experts can
prepare your non-profit organization or association to weather a leadership vacuum with
the calm and thoughtful approach this circumstance deserves.
