Corwin Consulting - FREE WEBINAR: How to Manage Nonprofit Executive Transition

Date: Thursday, May 17
Time: 12:00 - 1:00 pm ET
Location:Online Webinar
Cost: Free, but registration is required

Transition is a risky event, yet boards often rush to fill an executive vacancy without fully understanding the risks or considering how the change can be leveraged to benefit the organization. Boards need to ask if the leadership needs of the organization have changed since the last transition, and consider how to transform a possible leadership crisis into an opportunity. Skilled, intentionally managed transitions strengthen organizations and equip them to recruit and retain strong leaders for the future.

This webinar will explain executive transition management (ETM):

  • the three phases of the transition process
  • the risks, challenges and opportunities presented
  • the role professional interim leaders can play
  • the attributes of a successful transition
  • the importance of preparing for transitions through succession planning

Who Should Attend?

  • Nonprofit board members
  • Executive directors
  • Funders
  • Nonprofit consultants
