SUMMARY:Succession Planning Consultant Bootcamp
DESCRIPTION:Wed\, Apr 16\, 2025\, 8:30 AM PDT – Thu\, Apr 17\, 2025\, 12:00 PM PDT\nZoom Online Meeting\n\n\nBECOME A CERTIFIED SUCCESSION PLANNING CONSULTANT AND LICENSED TRAINER FOR NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS \nThe nonprofit sector is experiencing growing rates of employee and volunteer transitions. Many issues that consultants help nonprofit organizations resolve can be linked to the impacts of high employee and board turnover\, lack of talent planning and development\, and an unrealized commitment to diversity\, inclusion\, equity\, access\, and belongingness.\n\nWith less than a fifth of nonprofit organizations prepared for succession\, it is essential for the nonprofit sector to have well-trained consultants and more succession planning education programs available in local communities. The Succession Planning Consultant Bootcamp fills this essential need.\n\nWhat you will learn during the two-day Succession Planning Consultant Bootcamp:\n\nA Definition of Succession Planning Rooted in Talent Recruitment\, Development & Retention\nThe Five Essential Elements of a Nonprofit Succession Plan\nSuggested Facilitation Methods for Leadership Continuity Conversations with Nonprofits\nThe Four “Must-Do’s” For Emergency Succession Planning\nThe Link between Basic Human Resource Policy and Practice and a Culture of Leadership Continuity and Succession\nHow to Integrate Succession Planning Discussions into Strategic Planning\, Resource Development\, and Financial Planning Engagements\nThe Powerful Intervention that Succession Planning represents to advancing Diversity\, Inclusion\, Equity\, Access\, and Belongingness in nonprofit organizations\n\nBootcamp graduates earn a certificate\, a digital badge indicating completion of succession planning studies\, access to materials to teach in their workshops and engagements\, and invitation to recurring Succession Planning Consultant study group sessions hosted by Third Sector Company for a discounted rate. \nWhy the need for a Succession Bootcamp? The latest data backs it up: \n\n50% of nonprofit leaders share that they plan to leave their roles within the next five years. Your guidance can empower nonprofits to build resilient structures that ensure continuity and stability.\nThe Leading with Intent Report from 2021 notes that 30% of nonprofit executives surveyed do not have a written succession plan or policy to guide the board when a transition occurs.\nIn 2022 there were 500\,000 jobs in the nonprofit sector waiting to be filled leading to challenges in hiring and talent recruitment known as the Great Resignation.\n\nPlease note that a 90-page workbook including succession planning tools and other resources will be used during the Bootcamp. As with any course that has an accompanying text\, you will be asked to order your workbook once it is ready for distribution (priced at $29.95 through a third-party publisher). Instructions will be provided upon registration. \nThird Sector Company\, Inc. is committed to advancing justice\, equity\, diversity\, and inclusion as foundational to its programs. \nWe acknowledge and honor the fundamental value and dignity of all people; and we pledge our individual and organizational efforts to build respect\, dignity\, caring\, and equitable treatment for all. As an organization\, we are committed to transforming the world into one that promotes social justice and freedom from oppression\, including but not limited to\, racism\, sexism\, classism\, heterosexism\, ageism\, and ableism. \nThus\, we aim to be adaptable\, actively anti-racist\, embracing cultural differences\, and to be accessible for people who are differently resourced and differently abled. Since we do not want financial hardship to be a barrier to participation\, there are several seats reserved in each of our fee-based programs for confidentially awarded scholarships. We encourage those from historically underserved communities to apply.
