From discussing how to raise money, organizing and having fundraisers, writing for grants, to nurturing relationships with potential donors, board members could fail to address another important aspect of their responsiblity. Business succession planning can not be overlooked by board members. A non-profit is still a business and without taking into its role business succession planning, the board members will miss out on the most important viability issue facing a non-profit.


Business succession planning is at every level of the work of a non-profit; from its committee membership, its operations personnel, to its board membership. Now is the time to take a look at each of these area and address any deficiencies. Without succession planning the future of your non-profit IS at risk.
