EXECUTIVE TRANSITIONS AFFINITY GROUP MEETING

Conditions for Success: An Open Space Dialogue on Executive Transition Management and Succession Planning

Date: Wednesday, July 18, 10:00am - 3:00pm
Price: FREE - Alliance Members ONLY

Facilitators: Margaret Donohoe, Leadership in Transition; Lynne Molnar, Third Sector New England; Tim Wolfred, CompassPoint Nonprofit Services; Tom Adams, TransitionGuides

The fields of executive transition management and succession planning are booming in the nonprofit world. After years of avoidance, the baby boom exodus and the positive benefits from well-planned and executed transitions have colluded to jump start our profession. Join our Affinity Group session intended for active ETM and Succession Planning practitioners to explore together what’s working, what’s not and how our collective wisdom can inform the conditions for future success of ETM and Succession Planning.

In the spirit of open space, affinity group members are asked to propose topics on which they’d like to facilitate a discussion. Please email your topic to Tim Wolfred at timw@compasspoint.org.
