Navigating Nonprofit Transitions: Building a Culture of Support and Preparation

Losing a valued staff person at any level in a nonprofit causes a ripple effect across the organization. We will explore the complexities of organizational change and what transitions mean for nonprofit staff and board members. We will analyze the ways individuals process and react to change. Participants will learn practical strategies for preparing themselves and staff for upcoming transitions. All levels of staff and board are encouraged to attend. Ingrid Kirst, who has guided many nonprofit transitions, will help you prepare for these transitions with a culture that embraces change.
