- Abstract
At the 2016 Alliance for Nonprofit Management-ARNOVA joint conference sessions, we participated in a panel discussion that explored the gap between ideals and practice during nonprofit leadership succession, particularly chief executive succession and transitions. The panelists explored the fact that despite substantial philanthropic investment toward formalizing approaches to succession planning, executive transition management, and interim executive leadership, and despite nearly two decades of efforts toward making these approaches into mainstream management practices within the nonprofit sector, a significant gap remains between practice ideals and actual practice. The results of the session, including implications for practice and future recommendations from the audience of practitioners and researchers, can improve the on-the-ground practice of this key governance responsibility.
