With the new year in full force, it’s a good idea for your chapter to start thinking about chapter leader transitions! We’ve compiled some tips to make sure that the hard work you put in during your tenure is passed on and that your chapter can continue to grow and maximize its impact.
-
Make a transition timeline. Thinking about transitions as a year-round process will help your chapter maintain a healthy leadership pipeline, and these timelines lend essential structure the overall leadership transition process. Not sure where to start? You can take a look at a sample leadership transition timeline.
-
Transfer your knowledge. Don’t leave it to your successors to reinvent the wheel! During your time as a chapter leader, document everything from passwords to best practices to help out the incoming leadership team. Here is some key information that should be passed on to future leaders:
-
Chapter contacts (internal and external)
-
Net Impact-related usernames and passwords
-
Net Impact chapter requirements
-
Goals and strategies
-
Best practices
-
Evaluations and surveys
-
Processes (elections, events, trainings, etc.)
-
-
Update Net Impact Central. Complete the chapter leader transition form to inform us of changes in your chapter’s leadership. We will then update your chapter’s contact information to make sure that all important communications are sent to the new leaders!
