HERE'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

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

A must for all nonprofits. Serge Falardeau, Ottawa Community Support Coalition

Even though our organization had 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 provided an excellent turnkey tool kit to launch the succession planning process for the nonprofit board on which I serve. Frank Brewster QC, Miller Thomson LLP

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 temporary short-term succession plan 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
• Assign authorities and responsibilities to stabilize daily operations
• Outline communication strategies
• Assess the resources you need
• Plan for future succession activities
• Reap the benefits of succession readiness

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.
