Best Practices in Succession and Sustainability Planning and CEO Search: How Housing Authorities can Benefit from these Practices

Effective leadership is the key to long-term success for Housing Authority, Community Development organizations and in fact all organizations. Think about the very successful agencies and organizations you know. They are well-led. Think about the struggling agencies. They are challenged to bring together the necessary leadership with a direction and set of goals that have the desired outcome for residents and communities. Leadership continuity and long-term sustainability are not an accident. There are concrete practical steps that CEO’s, senior managers, and Commissioners can take to ensure sustainability and successful succession when it occurs for the CEO and other key leaders.

Participants in this 1.5 day workshop attended by over 1000 leaders nationally will have the opportunity to:

• Learn about proven practices for sustainability and succession planning and CEO search
• Receive the tools and example documents to begin emergency backup planning and the development of a succession policy
• Begin a sustainability mini-assessment for their agency or organization
• Learn how these tools have benefitted other agencies and organizations from practical case examples
• Receive a take home notebook and CD with practical tools to share with your agency and help implement these ideas.
