Did you know that only 27% of nonprofits have a written succession plan? According to BoardSource, this strikingly low number raises an important question: Why are so many nonprofits unprepared for leadership transitions, and how can they prioritize succession planning? In the latest Nonprofit State of Minds podcast episode, Chileatha Wynn, DMSc, MPAS, PA-C Wynn and Robert Simpson join David Chatham to unpack this critical topic. They share insights as seasoned board members and make a compelling case for why succession planning should be a priority for every nonprofit.

Earlier this week we were proud to be a sponsor at Mission Triangle's Harvest Celebration annual fundraiser, a powerful evening celebrating their mission to help Christian-led nonprofits expand their Kingdom impact. Angel Oak Creative's Daphne Thompson, Alejandra Salas and David Chatham had a wonderful time seeing old friends and making new ones. Values-aligned partnerships make all the difference when you have a front-row seat to hear impactful stories and be inspired by new connections. Add in a scoop of Two Roosters Ice Cream at the Angus Barn, and it makes for an unforgettable night!
