Club succession and continuity planning
Succession planning involves clubs creating comprehensive strategies and procedures to ensure smooth transitions in both operations and leadership. It's more than just identifying future committee members; it's about implementing processes that minimise disruptions. This includes strategies for:
- identifying and recruiting potential committee members
- creating strong onboarding and handover protocols
- establishing methods for upskilling and mentoring
- professional development and formal training programs.
