- **Event Description**: Join us for our L.E.A.D. Webinar on October 15 called "Leadership Transition Readiness: What Every Nonprofit Board Should Know Before the Executive Seat Is Empty" led by Josh Kilgas and JD Gildemeister of Solutions for Changemakers.

If the executive director of a nonprofit you serve couldn't come in tomorrow, would the board know what to do?

For most, the honest answer is no. In BoardSource's national Leading with Intent study, nearly 2 in 3 nonprofits had no written plan for a leadership departure, whether expected or sudden. Yet 1 in 10 executives expects to leave within a year, and nearly 3 in 10 within three.

A leadership transition is one of the highest-risk moments a nonprofit will face, and one of the few times a board must go well beyond its normal role. Handled well, the mission continues without missing a beat. Handled poorly, the costs are real: stalled operations, lost funding relationships, staff turnover, and damaged community trust.

In this hour, we'll focus on the executive transition: what boards should have in place before one happens, how to prepare for both the planned and the unexpected, and where the board has to step up during a transition. Board members will leave knowing the questions to ask and the tools to put in place now. Nonprofit staff leaders will leave with a way to raise this with their board now, not in the middle of a transition.

Whether you serve on a nonprofit board, lead one, or expect to do either someday, you'll leave better prepared for a moment every organization eventually faces.

The Wisconsin LGBT Chamber’s L.E.A.D Series is a virtual program for chamber members, focused on giving you the tools and resources you need to succeed in business. We’ll help you learn new information, elevate your skills, achieve new understanding, and deliver for your business.
