Interim Executive/Emergency Leadership Succession Services
Board of directors training and strategic consulting for non-profit boards of directors

"Rob, I was counting my blessings on my way to work this morning and you
and Vicki came to mind. It was your persistence and astute negotiation
skills that made it possible. . . You have a great eye for detail and flow
and I would be remiss if I didn't praise your wordsmith-ing abilities, too
. . . You two rock!"

"Actually Jeff – you need to take a bow (and you know it). . .
You are a superb president and I want to especially thank you for your sincerity, honesty, and wise judgment. Your partnership
in the leadership of this organization is appreciated."

Executive Director
Colorado Society of Association Executives

". . .Strategically we would have no interruption in member services should something unexpected happen. . . Leading Associations can step in if needed allowing [our board] to continue their focus on policy rather than day-to-day operations."

Emergency Succession Plan and Interim Executive Management Service

Do you have a contingency plan if your chief staff executive suddenly departs, either through sickness, death or another unexpected reason? Are you seeking to hire a new executive and need interim management to keep your organization at peak performance during the transition?

What if your organization experiences a catastrophic loss of personnel from a natural or man-made disaster or accident?

Allow your board as much time as it needs to address a challenge without having to worry about how to continue day-to-day operations! Leading Associations can contract with your board to assume temporary management during your executive's recovery or until a replacement can be hired if the loss is permanent, or provide backup staffing in the event of a catastrophic loss of personnel.
