Leadership change is inevitable—but crisis management doesn’t have to be.

Join Jodee O’Brien, Succession Strategy Expert and nonprofit leadership consultant, for a powerful session that will change the way you approach leadership transitions. You'll learn:

✅ What 70% of nonprofits miss when a leader departs

✅ How to build an emergency “Oh Crap” Plan for sudden exits

✅ Key emotional dynamics to address before transitions cause chaos

✅ The difference between crisis-only planning and true succession strategy

✅ Real-world examples of nonprofit transitions gone wrong—and right

This intro session will walk you through foundational tools used in the full Strategic Succession system, with actionable steps you can implement immediately. Whether you're a board member, founder, or executive director, this is the must-attend event to future-proof your organization.

The first session is just the beginning — it launches a 9-part deep dive where nonprofit boards and executive leaders will walk step-by-step through building a complete, customized succession plan that protects your mission and ensures a smooth leadership transition.
