- Title
Marketplace Ministries: Planning For Succession.

- Abstract
In the summer of 2014, Gil Stricklin, President-CEO of Marketplace Ministries, made a decision to step down from the position he had held since he founded the organization in 1984. His intention was to become the CEO of the organization's Foundation, which raised money for global outreach. At the same time, the COO also decided to step down from his position; therefore, the Marketplace Ministries Board was faced with replacing both of these individuals as quickly as possible after the intended date of the change took place in January of 2015. The organization, which placed chaplains in business organizations around the world, had grown into an operation that had approximately 2,552 men and women assisting employees in these organizations dealing with personal problems. Not only were these chaplains helping individuals deal with the daily challenges of depression, loss, and facing difficult situations, but in addition 9,570 became Christians in 2014 because of this ministry. Now the Board of Marketplace Ministries had to decide on a succession process, timing and appropriate characteristics of a new President-CEO and a new COO who would also be Chief of Staff. One of the biggest decisions was whether to consider individuals who had a business background or a church-related or theological background.
