In the words of a departing founder
As the founding Executive Director of an organization the decision to start the process of succession planning was uncharted and filled with emotion…Rachel Kadosh was highly recommended by the search firm we hired and has been instrumental in advising and supporting the process for myself, the Board Chair and the incoming Executive Director. The combined ED / Board Chair sessions created alignment in our approach to the transition. My individual sessions were an opportunity to step outside of the day to day of my role to formulate a concrete plan to ensure a smooth transition internally in addition to supporting the new Executive Director by providing the necessary information to successfully join the team.
