Description

Executive transitions management and nonprofit leadership transitions are an emerging/expanding area of practice for many consultants to the nonprofit sector.  Both fields are designed to help nonprofit organizations to take advantage of the capacity building opportunities that arise when their executive director, CEO or other senior leadership are departing.  This "town hall" is designed to provide seasoned transition consultants a chance to share lessons learned in their transition work as well as to suggest refinements to our collective practice based on outcomes with their clients.
