SUMMARY:2022 Spring Regional Meeting - Parkersburg
DESCRIPTION:Due to unforeseen circumstances\, the WVNPA has cancelled the in-person Regional Meeting in Parkersburg.  We invite you to attend the virtual option on May 12th.   \nAbout the Session: \nNonprofits are realizing that executive director transition is a crucial moment in an organization’s life: a moment of great vulnerability\, as well as great opportunity for transformative change. Planning for executive director transition is called succession planning: thinking in advance about how to set the stage for a strong transition.  \nWhile there is risk in executive transition\, there is also tremendous opportunity for reflection\, change\, and organizational growth. When well planned and considered\, leadership transitions can result in significantly stronger organizations. \nThis succession planning training is designed to give small to mid-sized nonprofit organizations a framework that can be used to prepare for a leadership transition\, search for the best candidates\, and thrive for years to come. It comes filled with practical advice and tools that will save you time\, worry and money.   \nParticipants will receive the following:  \n\na succession planning checklist and timeline; \na list of recommended reading; guiding questions for board members interviewing candidates; \ninsights directly from others who have experienced  leadership transitions; and \ntemplates and sample planning documents so you can avoid reinventing any wheels.\n\nMeeting Agenda:\n\n10:00 – 10:30: Introductions and WVNPA update (Registration begins at 9:30)\n10:30 – 12:00: Part 1 of Succession Planning\n12:00 – 12:30: Lunch\n12:30 – 2:00: Part 2 of Succession Planning\n2:00 – 2:30: Closing Remarks and Evaluations\n2:30: Adjournment\n\nAbout the Presenter:\nTricia C. Kingery\, M.A.\, M.B.A.\nPresident and Owner\nKingery & Company\, LLC\nThe Retreat WV\, LLC\nThe Cottage WV\, LLC  \n  \nAs an entrepreneur\, mother and child advocate\, Tricia Kingery cares deeply about her community and is passionate about making a positive impact in West Virginia.  Fifteen years ago\, that passion led her to establish Kingery & Company\, LLC\, a consulting firm that strengthens the mission of nonprofits through planning\, training\, marketing and fundraising.  Every day\, the Kingery team empowers people\, develops organizations\, and strengthens communities.  Combining skills and heart\, they fuel the mission of clients like United Ways\, Community Action\, Health Departments\, Associations\, and more.  With a MA in Counseling and BA in Psychology from Marshall University\, along with a MBA from West Virginia University\, education is at the heart of everything she does.    \nAs a former child and family therapist\, Tricia continues to serve as a voice for abused\, neglected and troubled children.  She is the Executive Director for West Virginia KIDS COUNT\, Statewide Coordinator for the ACEs Coalition of WV\, and Board Member of the YWCA Charleston.  She also manages the John K. Clendenen Scholarship Fund\, a legacy of her father who was a dedicated principal for many years. As an extension of Kingery & Company\, Tricia established The Retreat WV in 2018 and The Cottage at Northgate in 2021.  Both serve as an alternative to traditional office\, meeting and event space. Space can be rented by the hour\, month or year for business and private parties.  Kingery & Company clients use the space for free.  \nLastly\, Tricia enjoys spending time with her family\, volunteering in the community\, mentoring young people\, collecting children’s books and traveling.
