This session will examine the first two options you may consider for beginning the succession planning process. But first, it introduces two important lenses through which succession planning should be viewed: personal emotion and the relevance of diversity, inclusion and equity. After completing this session, you will be able to initiate a generative discussion about leadership continuity, organize the essential information your agency needs for maintaining operations during a leadership change, and recommend a potential board leadership pipeline strategy.

What does “succession planning” mean in your organization? Nonprofit executives and board members often react nervously, even negatively, to conversations about succession. According to BoardSource, 83% of nonprofits have not yet created a plan for their leadership continuity.
Lack of succession planning puts missions in danger and organizations at risk should there be a sudden transition in a key leadership role. But such transitions also provide opportunities for growth if your organization has a culture of leadership continuity focused on developing the human capital it will need for the future. Third Sector Company and Washington Nonprofits are pleased to offer a three-part webinar series to help your organization build such a culture.
