Succession Planning (cont.)
• Succession planning (and continuity) can be accomplished in many ways:– Begin exposure to board through Director
position and then move to other offices– Establish a President Elect position as the
president in training– Establish a succession where the Vice President
moves up to Pres Elect and then to President– Adopt two year terms for each office; this assures
continuity and good training in key positions
