Succession Planning Sessions

Project details

What we need
  • 3-5 one hour strategy sessions with a change management professional covering topics like identifying key positions and successors, transition timelines, and action planning for developing existing staff for leadership roles
  • Coaching on how to engage senior leaders and key funders, and strategies for gaining the commitment of board members and staff to manage a planned or an unexpected transition intentionally
What we have in place
  • We currently have a breakdown of responsibilities for ED, DoD, PD positions, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a general timeline, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,808 , allowing us to empower women through job training and personal development at no cost to them

Together We Bake is nearing our 10 year anniversary. One of our Co-Founders is thinking of next steps professionally and personally. She wants to ensure a smooth transition to new leadership and organizational strength and sustainability.
