Nonprofit Leadership Transition Summit

The Nonprofit Leadership Transition Summit is hosted by Washington Nonprofits, an association ensuring all nonprofits across the state have what they need to succeed through learning, advocacy and collaboration.

At the summit, you will learn about how to plan leadership transitions that are positive for the organization and the people who are stepping in and out of leadership.

Teams of staff and board are encouraged to attend together to reflect on how to prepare your organization for change. Even if your CEO is not yet thinking about leaving, it is not too early to lay the groundwork and shape a culture that supports successful transitions. This summit will be focused primarily on the adaptive issues associated with leadership transition. Rather than a “how-to” workshop with a checklist of tasks, the summit will explore how organizational culture, power dynamics, and personalities can make or break an executive transition.
