In times of rapid change and uncertainty, the stakes are high when selecting the next leader for your organization. Whether due to retirement, organizational growth or leadership transitions, identifying the right individual to guide your mission forward requires more than just filling a role, it demands strategic alignment, cultural fluency and deep sector understanding.

We’ll unpack the key qualities that define effective leadership today, how to assess for mission alignment, and what hiring teams should consider ensuring long-term success and sustainability.
Whether you’re navigating a CEO transition, expanding your leadership bench or refining your approach to succession planning, this webinar will offer timely insights to help you lead your organization through pivotal decisions.
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Identify the leadership competencies most critical to success in today’s evolving nonprofit and social impact landscape
