Let's talk about succession planning

Former Community Member over 10 years ago

I've created this discussion thread to give you the opportunity to either ask questions, or share your experiences around succession planning. As staff we try to do our best to provide you with useful information in order to support you in your roles as IET volunteers, but in some cases volunteers will inevitably benefit more by talking to other volunteers.

I will ask a question just to get the ball rolling:

What do you find most challenging about succession planning?

Thanks John F. I've been contemplating a post here but could not reach the best words to explain my observations on the volunteer communities which I am familiar with. Now having read your post I am pleased that I no longer have to think about posting as you have crystallised my observations and experience. I could not agree more with your sentiments. "volunteer" and "planning" by definition do not coexist well together. Adding things like succession or contingency into the mix makes a difficult requirements set.
