When board officers leave and their terms of service end, a lack of effective preparation can put an organization into crisis. Preparing for these vacancies should begin well before they occur. Implementing an intentional, smooth, and well-thought-out transition plan will help trustees navigate the challenges of leadership change and prepare the next group of leaders up for success. Dr. Vicki Niebrugge, Chair of the Board of Trustees for Western Seminary, has extensive experience with succession planning in both non-profit and for-profit organizations.
