Email Details

Learning Outcomes By the end of the workshop, participants will have a plan to: Assess fit — evaluate whether an interim CEO/Executive Director is a solution given their organization's situation, using a framework that weighs trigger events, board and staff capacity, and alternatives (e.g., promoting internally, an associate director stepping up, a shared/fractional leadership model). Guide the board — design and facilitate a sound decision-making process for an all-volunteer board, including how to structure a clear, documented decision. Communicate with confidence — identify what must be communicated to each stakeholder group (staff, program participants/community, major donors and funders, grant officers, board members, local press) and when, to protect trust and safeguard the funding relationships the organization depends on. Avoid common pitfalls — recognize the recurring mistakes nonprofit boards make with interim leadership arrangements (unclear mandate, board members overstepping into management, stalled fundraising during the gap, premature or delayed communication to funders).
