Successful Executive Transitions: Relationships with the Board

Many people within our nonprofits - employees, volunteers, board members - contribute to their success and deserve to have their work continued. Executive directors/CEOs need to be able to turn to our boards of directors, especially our board chairs, to make both short- and long-term succession plans to sustain the future of our organizations.

This article continues our series exploring the complexities and approaches to successful executive transitions and succession planning. Read on and stay tuned.
