Join Judie Caribeaux as she leads this interactive workshop at the IARF Educational Conference & Expo.

Leadership transitions and unexpected disruptions are no longer outliers—they’re constants in today’s nonprofit environment. This hands-on workshop introduces contingency planning as a critical and underused tool to not only prepare for the unexpected but to identify and grow leadership capacity within your team.

Participants will learn a simple and adaptable contingency planning framework and then work in small groups to apply it to a realistic leadership or staffing risk. The session will emphasize how planning for uncertainty can surface key leadership roles, develop emerging leaders, and improve succession readiness. Participants will leave with a working draft of a contingency plan and the tools to continue building resilience back at their organizations.

Participants will:

• Understand what contingency planning is and how it differs from other planning tools.

• Identify leadership risks and potential disruptions within their organization.

• Apply a simple contingency planning process to a leadership transition scenario.

• Connect contingency planning to leadership development and succession strategies.

• Leave with a draft plan and resources to take back to their teams.
