As the number of organization’s in funder portfolios who are undergoing a leadership transition grows, one common practice of funders - “Wait and see” - is failing organizations just when they need extra support.

A recent report sponsored by the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation, Brilliant Transformations: Toward Full Flourishing in BIPOC Leadership Transitions, contains some key recommendations for funders who are looking to lean into this work.
Learn from funders who are leaning into trust - and leaning into the change - with new strategies to support leaders who are leaving, leaders who are entering, and the board and staff who manage the change from old to new.
This will be a virtual session. Connection details will be emailed closer to the event date.
