Board Governance: Succession Planning

November 18, 2014
01:00 PM to 04:00 PM
 
Non profit boards today often report that they need guidance finding and keeping effective board members.  Succession Planning and Continuity Management are 2 main methods of achieving those goals.  Both can be positive and exciting core activities for all board members. 
 
Succession Planning includes recruitment and orientation of board members.  Continuity Management focuses on maintaining and developing the knowledge and skills of current board members.  The expectations for board members today, the increasing diversity in cultural expectations and norms are significantly greater than in the past.  These create a significant challenge for all boards that want to serve their members and clients well.
