Succession Planning for Associations & Non-Profit Organizations

Succession PlanningIt 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.
