Staff Turnover
Leadership changes are common in nonprofit work. Data suggests that more than 10% of nonprofits experience a transition annually.
This issue of Casey Connects introduces the Foundation’s Executive Transition Management Initiative, which aims to help nonprofits flourish during a leadership change. A second story tells how Casey linked families in need to more than $225 million in tax credits in 2004.
The Foundation’s Executive Transition Management initiative pairs trained consultants with nonprofits that are experiencing a leadership loss. In this approach, board members and executives run an all-systems check on their organization, reassess the road ahead, and embrace the opportunity to consider new ideas and strategies. The goal is simple: A smooth passing of the professional torch — and a strong, steady start for the incoming leader.
