Succession Planning
Here at the coalition we’ve been thinking a lot about organizational transitions, and we’ve come to realize that we are not the only agency in the anti-sexual violence movement that experiences periodic bouts of reduction and expansion. Over the past 2 years, we’ve gained many new and dynamic staff members, said goodbye to many beloved staff members, and moved into a new building. WCSAP is evolving and expanding, and we’ve had the honor of watching and supporting you, our member programs, as you go through many similar transitions.
Although change is necessary, change can also shake the very foundation of your agency. By developing and implementing a succession plan, your agency will pro-actively chart the future, ensure longevity, and plan for unintended consequences. This edition of Managers’ Viewpoint will provide you with the how-to’s of succession planning, based upon the experiences of veteran leaders in our movement.
