A change in executive leadership is one of the most
important, challenging and powerful opportunities a nonprofit organization
will face. On average, more than one in ten executive director jobs turns
over each year. That number is projected to climb by 15 percent or more as
the baby-boomer generation – many of whom founded core organizations in their
communities 20 to 30 years ago – begins to reach retirement age. A 2002
article in the Washington Post put the estimate even higher: 40-70 percent
of executive directors retiring over the next five years. You will find
excellent resources on executive transition in the nonprofit sector at the
website of TransitionGuides, a firm dedicated to sustaining and
strengthening nonprofits through better managed leadership transitions and
related organizational development. Go to:
