Join Peggy Hoffman from Mariner Management & Marketing LLC for a different take on chapter succession planning. We’re shifting from talking about providing succession plan templates to coaching for success.
2. Which best describes your average
chapter board?
All positions filled
All key positions filled
Few “openings”
3. Which best describes your average chapter’s
leadership succession plan?
Fully functioning (& we have the people
to prove it!)
It’s on paper
Catch-as-catch-can
8. 1.Lack of Information
about opportunities
to volunteer
Conflict with other volunteering
activity
Never asked to
volunteer
Lack of virtual
volunteering
Lack of short-term assignment
9. New Model
• Use teams vs committees
• Embrace micro-
volunteering
10. New Model
• Set up portals
• Focus on new volunteers
• Recruit for lighter
volunteering
• Shift requirements for
traditional structure
21. Draw a different
strategy …
• Succession plan made easy
• Workshops/training on what
they need to practice – the
framing, the ask, the follow-
through
• Volunteer portal for collecting
interest – central or regional
• Shift requirements to embrace
new models
• NVW promotions
22. • Be an active partner in recruiting members to serve
on our local boards
• Ask a national board or committee member
completing their term, to consider serving at the
local level
• Keep a list of local/state volunteer opportunities to
refer to members
• Consider adding local volunteer service to your CE
requirements
• Ask your national leaders to recruit colleagues in
their organizations to sit on local boards
• Make it easy for members to invite others to
volunteer
• Make a personal introduction for a current chapter
leader to a future leader
• Take care in recruiting for national positions so you
don’t drain the local talent
23. Stay in touch …

What is CEX? CEX is a forum for all of us managing, nurturing and working with association components to explore, create and evolve these essential member communities. CEX is a learning community! Why a Forum? Because a traditional association conference won't offer unique peer-to-peer learning, creative problem-solving and networking with the people who understand components. Who should attend? National association professionals operating within the component structure (chapters, state affiliates, divisions, sections)
