Serving Nonprofits. Strengthening West Virginia

2022 Spring Regional Meeting - Huntington
2022-05-04 10:00 - 14:30 (America/New_York) | 935 3rd Avenue, Suite 340, Huntington, WV, 935 3rd Ave., Suite 340, Huntington, WV, 25701, United States
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the WVNPA has cancelled the in-person Regional Meeting in Huntington and Charleston. We invite you to attend the virtual option on May 12th.
About the Session:
Nonprofits 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.
While 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.
This 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.
Participants will receive the following:

a succession planning checklist and timeline;
a list of recommended reading; guiding questions for board members interviewing candidates;
insights directly from others who have experienced leadership transitions; and
templates and sample planning documents so you can avoid reinventing any wheels.

Meeting Agenda:

10:00 – 10:30: Introductions and WVNPA update (Registration begins at 9:30)
10:30 – 12:00: Part 1 of Succession Planning
12:00 – 12:30: Lunch

As 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.

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.
Lastly, Tricia enjoys spending time with her family, volunteering in the community, mentoring young people, collecting children’s books and traveling. She lives with her daughter, Alexandra, in Charleston, WV with their puppy Hope.
