Succession Planning: Strategies That Work
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?
