“According to BoardSource, only 27% of nonprofits have an executive succession plan, which means that most nonprofits do not have a plan."
Yet, 67% of nonprofit executives plan to leave within 5 years. And 43% of nonprofits have less than 3 months of operating reserves, which means that most nonprofits cannot afford the expense of struggling through an unplanned transition. This course teaches nonprofit boards and executives how to ensure the sustainability of their organizations and advancement of their missions through a step-by-step approach to succession planning. By the end of this course, you will be able to describe:
-
How succession planning leads to long-term sustainability
