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.

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
