EARN A CERTIFICATE IN SUCCESSION PLANNING CONSULTING TO NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS

The nonprofit sector is experiencing growing rates of employee and volunteer transitions. Many issues that consultants help nonprofit organizations resolve can be linked to the impacts of high employee and board turnover, lack of talent planning and development, and an unrealized commitment to diversity, inclusion, equity, access, and belongingness.

With less than a fifth of nonprofit organizations prepared for succession, it is essential for the nonprofit sector to have well-trained consultants and more succession planning education programs available in local communities. The Succession Planning Consultant Bootcamp fills this essential need.

What you will learn during the two-day Succession Planning Consultant Bootcamp:

A Definition of Succession Planning Rooted in Talent Recruitment, Development & Retention
The Five Essential Elements of a Nonprofit Succession Plan
Suggested Facilitation Methods for Leadership Continuity Conversations with Nonprofits
The Four “Must-Do’s” For Emergency Succession Planning
The Link between Basic Human Resource Policy and Practice and a Culture of Leadership Continuity and Succession
How to Integrate Succession Planning Discussions into Strategic Planning, Resource Development, and Financial Planning Engagements
The Powerful Intervention that Succession Planning represents to advancing Diversity, Inclusion, Equity, Access, and Belongingness in nonprofit organizations

Bootcamp graduates earn a certificate, a digital badge indicating completion of succession planning studies, access to materials to teach in their workshops and engagements, and invitation to recurring Succession Planning continuing education sessions hosted by Interim Executives Academy for a discounted rate.

Why the need for a Succession Bootcamp? The latest data backs it up:

50% of nonprofit leaders share that they plan to leave their roles within the next five years. Your guidance can empower nonprofits to build resilient structures that ensure continuity and stability.
The Leading with Intent Report from 2021 notes that 30% of nonprofit executives surveyed do not have a written succession plan or policy to guide the board when a transition occurs.
In 2022 there were 500,000 jobs in the nonprofit sector waiting to be filled leading to challenges in hiring and talent recruitment known as the Great Resignation.

Please note that a 90-page workbook including succession planning tools and other resources will be used during the Bootcamp. As with any course that has an accompanying text, you will be asked to order your workbook, priced at $29.95, through a third-party publisher. Instructions will be provided upon registration.
