Make Your Nonprofit Last: Succession Planning for Nonprofits

Whether you are a nonprofit founder, or a nonprofit board member or other leader, it’s important to know what to do in the event your organization’s leaders can no longer serve in their roles anymore. #Nonprofits #NonprofitCEO #successionplanning
I started a nonprofit years ago, and this year, I resigned from my position as Executive Director. I learned so much about how to make this transition strategically and am sharing it in this video!
Here's how to create a basic succession plan.
If you are starting or growing a nonprofit, or planning your exit from a nonprofit, I hope this helps!

    Great video Amber as usual! At what point of your journey did you know a succession plan was important? Or was it something you were soberly aware of from the start? I have works on other channels that I've been thinking about lately concerning succession. Thanks Amber for all that you do, James

    Looking back we probably should have had one much earlier than we did, it just got put off on the backburner. I think it's smart to have a written plan a few years into the organization. Peoples' lives change on a dime, and you never know when a leader will need or want to move on.
