Your Nonprofit's Leader Is Leaving - What Next?

With the baby boomers reaching retirement age and general turnover in the nonprofit world accelerating, many nonprofit organizations are facing the challenge of change at the top. The transition to new leadership is particularly risky for smaller organizations, which typically have limited staff and financial resources. These small to mid-sized nonprofits cannot afford a national executive recruiting firm to work up the position description and launch the search for a successor CEO or Executive Director. The Annie E. Casey Foundation and the Evelyn and Walter Haas Jr. Fund have teamed up to provide resources to help manage these executive transitions. You can find useful information and guidance in the Executive Transition Monographs they have sponsored.
