CORE SUCCESSION PLANNING outlines the roles played by each member of an organization and identifies how their knowledge and skills can be captured, transferred and/or nurtured. Effective planning will ensure that the organization remains healthy, that it will be able to focus resources on the mission and programs, and provides tools to the board and staff to support the organization’s capacity to manage the changes to come.
