• Specific examples of various types of transitions and the learnings from them
• How to put a documented plan in place
• How much notice you should give
• What kind and how much overlap should there be
• Creating a schedule/timeline listing all of the activities associated with replacing you
• Positioning your job as a “plum” locally and nationally
• What your board should do to ensure the compensation is competitive and attractive to potential candidates and that they are an appealing “boss”
