Succession Planning Workshop
Effective staff leadership is critical for a strong and sustainable nonprofit. Succession planning helps to manage planned and unplanned transitions of leadership by identifying future leaders and creating development plans to support professional growth.
Licking County Foundation is partnering with Park National Bank to offer a 2-hour succession planning workshop facilitated by Business Volunteers Unlimited (BVU). BVU is a national model organization that strengthens nonprofits by involving thousands of volunteers from the community, engaging hundreds of business professionals on nonprofit boards of directors, and providing leading-edge board and management consulting and training services for nonprofits. BVU focuses its resources, programs, and services on the highest impact services designed to strengthen nonprofits to best serve the community's interests.
In addition to the 2-hour facilitation, participating nonprofit teams will walk away with the template for BVU's proprietary succession planning tool, allowing organizations to get to work on their unique succession plan.
