2016 Nonprofit Conference and Workshop:
Leadership Succession and Sustainability Planning
Presented in partnership with the Community Foundation of Eastern CT
Sustainability planning is a critical component of nonprofit health, mission effectiveness, and transition readiness. Sustainability planning prepares an organization to weather the departure of key organizational leaders, builds organizational capacity and strengthens leadership. With thoughtful preparation through sustainability planning activities focused on capacity building and organizational resilience, a leadership transition can bring positive organizational change and growth.
In this workshop participants will increase their understanding of how sustainability planning builds organizational capacity, have the building blocks of a sustainability action plan, and clarity on the steps needed to integrate sustainability practices into their organization over the long term.
Key learning objectives:
- Understanding of three phases of sustainability planning
- Clarity of your organization's readiness for sustainability planning and a leadership transition
- Roles and responsibilities in sustainability planning
This workshop is ideal for executive directors, senior staff and board members. Teams encouraged.
