Your college president comes to you ready to retire, where do you start? Are you prepared for a seamless transition to new leadership? Change in leadership can pose a unique set of challenges, but change can also mean new opportunity. Join this session to explore how leadership transitions can be leveraged to revisit institutional goals, amplify a meaningful legacy for outgoing leadership, and reaffirm your school’s mission and vision. We will tackle questions like: How can we leverage leadership changes to further fundraising goals? How do we navigate the challenges that arise when the transition happens in the middle of a campaign? How do we communicate and guide our donors through this change? Together we will explore strategies and best practices for maximizing leadership transitions to establish a sustainable future for our institutions.
