Does a transition procedure already exist? If not, one might be developed now, which would address such matters as: establishing an interim staff structure; providing authorization for check signing and other financial matters; updating the administrative calendar, noting major dates, activities, deadlines and responsibilities; compiling a list of key stakeholders to be informed of or involved in the transition process; reviewing executive director departure preparations including organizing corporate records and client files; reviewing pay and other human resources matters; scheduling regular meetings with the executive director prior to departure to get up to speed on current activities in the program; and developing a schedule of board meetings and board and staff meetings.
