Webinar: How and Why Many Nonprofits are Turning to Co-Leadership


Increasingly, nonprofits are considering leadership structures that diverge from the traditional single executive director hierarchy. The reasons vary: the pandemic has pushed–and allowed–nonprofits to experiment with new ways of working; leaders are considering new ways to share power and to center proximate Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) leaders; and organizations see co-leadership as a way to think about succession planning intentionally and in more innovative ways in response to the “great resignation.”

Co-leadership is not a new model. In fact, nonprofit organizations have used co-CEO and co-executive director models to divide and conquer senior leadership responsibilities and to share power for many years.

Still, many have questions about how it works.

Tune into this on-demand webinar to learn from leaders who have adopted a co-leadership approach. We will cover common questions about how this can be done well, pitfalls to watch out for, and how to transition to this model.
