Leadership transitions are often viewed as one of the most challenging phases in the life span of a nonprofit. A nonprofit's ability to sustain effective leadership during planned and unplanned transitions is vital! Succession planning is typically seen as a matter of replacing a person rather than building organizational capacity.

We can help with interim executive leadership as well as search SUPPORT for recruiting and hiring your next executive.

Interim Executive Directors are not simply board members or staff who sit in the executive director’s seat for a few weeks or months until a new director is found. Interim Executive Directors are highly skilled managers who temporarily take the helm of an organization, help the board and staff address important systems and capacity issues, and lay the groundwork for the permanent leader’s success.

Not all organizations in transition require an Interim Executive Director, but groups that do use one often emerge stronger, more financially sound, and with high levels of optimism about the future.
