Webinar Description:

Leadership transitions can be challenging.  For non-profit organizations to succeed, it is essential to think critically about the long-term leadership needs of the organization in anticipation of any unexpected changes that may arise, as well as to prepare for planned leadership transitions.  Presenters will discuss key elements of a succession plan, describe a process to plan for leadership transition within a domestic violence/sexual assault organization, and share tools and resources to assist OVW grantees to plan for the near and distant future.

After the webinar, participants will be better able to:

  • Discuss the importance of succession planning.
  • Identify key elements of a strategic and emergency succession plan.
  • Engage staff (key managers and executive directors) and board in succession planning.
