Succession planning. We all know it\u2019s a possibility, but none of us wants to think about it. What processes do you have in place to protect your organization from losing funding? How will you manage the optics and let funders know your organization\u2019s values and vision won\u2019t change just because one person steps down?

Hint: Don\u2019t make it all about you!

Join me today as I talk to Cassie Haynes and Jean Friedman-Rudovsky, the powerhouse co-founders of Resolve Philly, to get the lowdown on how they emerged from a leadership transition after Cassie, a black co-founder, stepped down from her position to be closer to her newly widowed mother.

Find out what strategies they used to mitigate damages, disperse responsibilities, and elevate staff members to positions of higher visibility so that the organization could continue affecting change to make Philidelphia\u2019s journalism scene a more equitable and diverse playing field.

\u201cWe have always prioritized the storytelling around our work coming from those who are carrying out the work. More and more folks on our team are\u2026 showing up at conferences to talk about the work. [\u2026] When our funders think about who Resolve is, they should think about 25 people.\u201d - Cassie Haynes, Resolve Philly Cofounder
