Transitions in family foundations, as in families themselves, can be challenging and emotionally fraught. Communication and timely planning can turn the inevitable transitions that all organizations face into joyful journeys. The particular transitions of board and leadership succession call for a neutral and knowledgeable consultant to partner with the board and guide the family foundation along its planning process.
In this webinar, learn how one family foundation, in partnership with consultants, has managed transitions, and explore ways to prepare a family philanthropy for the inevitability of change. Together, a consultant and the chair of a family foundation board will highlight the key moments of transition in family foundations, offer a framework and topline questions for consultants to use in discussing transition with family foundation clients, and offer examples from family foundations that have navigated board and executive transitions.
Consultants are encouraged to attend with a client.

Lynda E. Frost of Lynfro Consulting will guide a lively discussion on Liberating Structures with a focus on case studies from philanthropy consultants. This is Part 2 of our two-part discussion on Liberating Structures.
Have you experienced nightmare meetings? The one where you’re guiding a group and only the one brave soul participates? Or the brain ”storm” that barely creates a puddle? What about the leisurely stroll through an agenda without a clear actionable decision in sight?
This workshop will orient you to Liberating Structures, a repertoire of 33 different facilitation methods developed using natural learning methods and complexity theory. These techniques quickly foster lively participation in groups of any size, making it possible to truly include and unleash everyone.
Come and engage with 21/64 and NNCG members who have experience in implementing this set of tools which are designed to make facilitated meetings more fun and more effective. By employing Liberating Structures methods virtually or in-person, gatherings become seriously playful and deeply engaging, leading to meaningful results. You’ll walk away with a new perspective on meetings and a few simple tools to wake up your own meetings.
