A bad leadership transition can bleed your budget, gut your programs, and set your mission back years.
Direct Costs:
Recruitment expenses
Severance
Contractors
Lost grant revenue
Hidden Costs:
Donor confidence loss
Staff turnover
Program delays
Board fatigue
Why Interims Save You Money:
We maintain funding, retain staff, keep programs on track, and prepare for the new ED.
