Succession Planning on Your Radar? Participate in this Month's NFP Pulse and Get Free Report

Given the already stretched resources faced by nonprofits in addition to impending shortages due to the exodus of baby boomers from the labour market, we thought that succession planning would be an appropriate topic for this month's Not-for-Profit Pulse.

Specifically, this edition of the Pulse looks at the extent to which nonprofits are investing in succession planning activities and how important they feel succession planning is to the long-term success and viability of their organization.

Please take 5 minutes right now to participate in this valuable initiative. Your input will be analyzed along with the results of other not-for-profit professionals with the subsequent analysis shared back with the not-for-profit community on the ARC blog. Access your link to the survey below and please complete no later than Tuesday September 13:

Over time, lack of communication and miscommunication has led to many a sore back from sleeping on the couch. It has made people miss appointments and has left them waiting awkwardly in the wrong restaurants. It has battered and broken up the most iron-clad of relationships and caused people to lose their jobs. It has created civil and social strife and it has even led to and exacerbated wars.
