Succession planning is crucial but often overlooked in nonprofits. More than 70 percent of organizations lack formal CEO succession plans and emergency transition procedures. This leaves boards unprepared when sudden leadership changes occur. What happens if your CEO leaves unexpectedly? Who will take over financial and operational responsibilities on short notice? 

Senior Living Visionaries host, Jennifer Drago, discusses the importance of CEO succession planning for nonprofit organizations. She emphasizes the need for nonprofits to have an emergency leadership transition plan in place in case of an abrupt CEO departure. This plan should outline who will take on key responsibilities like financial oversight, communications, and interim management.
