Linda FairburnHERE'S WHAT THEY SAY
Emergency Leadership Planning and Succession Planning are becoming a greater priority for us in the non-profit sector and your workshop and workbook are especially practical, easy to use and represent a unique resource not readily available elsewhere. It seems to me that your workshop and materials, Linda, would make an excellent pre-conference session for leaders of nonprofit organizations. Joanne King, Executive Director, Barry’s Bay Senior Citizens Home
The Emergency Leadership Planning workshop reminded me of where I started with my organization. I leaned what I know that I need to put down on paper. The workshop took something I thought was theoretical and made it very concrete. Thank you. Debbie Boardman, Executive Director, Community Living Dundas County
The Emergency Leadership Planning workshop was a great learning experience. I got to discuss everything about the future with my ED that we don’t ever get a chance to discuss. Thank you. Marja Smellink, Board President, Community Living Dundas County
Succession planning is something I’ve thought about for quite some time but didn’t know where to start. You made the process so easy. Now I have peace of mind. Diane McKinnon, Executive Director, Renfrew County Community Futures Development
Leadership Succession Planning, both short term and long term is necessary for effective governance. Depending on the size and complexity of the organization, this may be the responsibility of the board or CEO to create, but ultimately this is the Board’s plan. This Emergency Leadership Succession Planning Workshop provided valuable concepts and tools for creating a thoughtful, comprehensive plan. Andria Spindel, President & CEO, March of Dimes Canada
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!

[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
