Emergency Executive Director Succession and Contingency Planning & Template

An Executive Director emergency succession plan is a crucial part of your organizational resilience plan. It lays out the course of action in case of a sudden, unexpected absence of your Executive Director (ED). While you never hope to have to use it, creating it before any disruption occurs will give you peace of mind to know that you are prepared. COVID-19 has spotlighted the need for organizations to develop emergency succession plans. This resource provides a roadmap and Emergency ED Succession Plan Template to create a plan for your organization.
