You've Got a Friend in Me: The Benefits of Succession Planning and Mentoring

As someone in public finance, leaders have many opportunities to not only improve their organization, but also the people around them. In this session, you will learn how to start succession planning and mentoring initiatives in your organization and how you can not only prepare your successor to replace you, but also create a more cohesive team while you are still there. Speakers will provide practical strategies that leaders at all levels can initiate that will result in more resilient, flexible, and sustainable organizations.
