In this session, Paul provides an overview of the key elements of a successful succession plan. The overview offers a focus on small organizations, where changes in volunteers and staff can result in the loss of institutional knowledge. Topics covered include, recruiting and retention, documentation, board recruitment, the role of board and staff, retirement, and stumbling blocks. Following the overview, the conversation turns to Ed Coleman and Jennifer Dunkerson who answer questions on their experiences in succession planning.
