"What to do if I get hit by a bus"
May 1, 2014 

HERE'S WHAT THEY SAY

The CMHA - Sudbury Manitoulin has used the services of Make Things Happen since July 2012. MTH has facilitated both the Emergency Succession Planning for Nonprofit Corporations and Succession Planning for Staff Positions workshops for our agency. We have found the processes and the tool kits provided useful and appreciate the MTH newsletter as it provides ongoing information and assists us in staying current on succession planning information. We recommend hiring the services of Make Things Happen and have found the experience beneficial to our organization.

Necessary topic well covered with very user friendly and in-depth materials.

One of the most worthwhile workshops I have attended in my 30-year career!
Teena Tomlinson, Executive Director, The In Community

[The Emergency Leadership Planning workshop provided] good practical tools and an opportunity to engage senior management in what may be considered a difficult and emotionally charged environment.
Jeanette  Schepp, Board Member, Canadian Mental Health Association/Peel Branch

Even though our organization has a second-generation succession plan for my position we discovered there was a whole set of descriptors that were missing. These new ideas will be  incorporated into our plan to make it more robust. I think the Emergency Leadership Planning workshop is very valuable and have recommended it to my group of developmental service providers. 
Dr. Shaune Lawton, Executive Director, Sunbeam Centre

The Emergency Leadership Planning Workshop was a great program to kick-start our succession planning process. I thought the 16 point work book was well designed and the Procedures Statement that's included is very helpful. We thought the workshop was an excellent use of our funds.
Tim Kennel, Executive Director, Fairview Mennonite Homes

PRESENTATION DETAILS

This is a five hour, hands-on workshop where you will receive a turn key toolkit to put together an action plan for a unexpected, short-term succession plan for your agency's ED and get the resources you need to develop policies and procedures for unexpected long-term and permanent situations.

 This interactive workshop will help you and your organization to:

• Identify barriers that prevent your organization from moving forward
• Obtain commitment to the succession planning process from your board of directors
• Provide an overview of the integrated succession planning process

Board members, executive directors, chief operating officers and chief executive officers of nonprofit and charitable corporations, foundations and associations are invited to attend.

The purpose of this workshop is to develop organizational capacity in the area of succession planning. To accomplish this a minimum of two people from your organization should attend this experiential workshop. Ideally this would be the chief staff officer and a board member or two board members. Please bring the CSO's job description, organization chart and relevant board policy documents.
