Preparing for and Managing a Productive Board Chair Transition

A board chair transition is an important moment for a family philanthropy, often prompting larger decisions or a revisiting of the organization’s purpose and practices. All members of the board have a role to play in preparing for and managing these inevitable leadership shifts and need clarity about the strategies that will prepare the organization—family, staff, and other stakeholders—for the potential changes to come. What are the qualities and competencies that a successful board chair should embody, and what does the selection process entail? What are common challenges and opportunities that arise during the change management process? How does next-generation engagement, family legacy, and succession planning play a role? Whether you’re in the midst of a transition now, are preparing for an eventual shift, or haven’t yet considered this process, join this webinar to learn more about board chair succession planning.

Fortifying Movements: Investing in Cultural and Narrative Power

As we find ourselves in increasingly polarizing times, we must embrace the importance of cultural and narrative strategy in both expanding and strengthening our movements. The work of artists – whether it be visual art, theater, or the stories and characters we connect with through our favorite tv shows and films – has historically been viewed as secondary or supplemental to movement infrastructure, rather than as essential to our work.
