Succession planning is the process of identifying the critical positions within your organization and developing action plans and processes to ensure success during a time of transition for staff, board and volunteers. If the most active member of your team were to walk away tomorrow, would your organization come to a screeching halt or begin a chaotic scramble to figure out the next steps? Are you prepared to guide your organization through both expected and unexpected transitions of team members? If the thought of losing and replacing essential team members makes you nervous, this session is for you.
