Planning for Tomorrow: Non-Profit Board Succession

Description

Many non-profits don’t have a board succession plan. Yet, creating a strong and sustainable board of directors is essential for effective governance. Succession planning enables boards to maintain the leadership needed to meet the various needs of their organizations. 

Margaret Sutherland has worked with non-profit organizations for the past 25 years- as an employee and board member. She retired as executive director from Decoda Literacy Solutions, B.C.’s provincial literacy organization, in 2022. She is currently the board chair of the Selkirk College Board of Governors.
