| Publisher Description: Executive director (ED) succession planning and the ED search process are two of the most important responsibilities of a nonprofit board of directors. But few know how to go about developing policies and procedures for these issues. This guide will provide you with step-by-step strategies, adaptable to any nonprofit.Developing an ED succession plan is strategy #9 in Toolkit #2, "The Top Twenty Nonprofit Sustainability Strategies. Any succession plan just also be complemented by a companion ED search process. Too often ED search committees scramble to hunt for the next ED with little thought to the profound impact their efforts will have on the future of their nonprofit. In their rush to fill the position, they fail to consider what type of ED they need, based on what phase of organizational development their nonprofit is in, and what leadership they need for long-term sustainability.Or, because they do not understand the duties of the ED, the committee will focus on hiring someone whose work experience and skills fit with the mission of the nonprofit, rather than on the critical core management competencies they need.Well written ED succession plans will ensure the long-term sustainability of the vision and mission of your nonprofit, helping you avoid the pitfalls of not planning for the day your ED will leave. And, a written search plan will help your nonprofit select the right ED to fit your needs.This toolkit will help you do both, providing in depth and practical looks at every aspect of these two critical board responsibilities. |
