Chiefs of Staff or others who are involved in managing presidential transitions will benefit from attending this webcast.

In this one-hour session, you will learn about the following:

1. 1. Understanding Your Role During the Transition

As soon as you learn that your institution will be going through a presidential transition, it is paramount that you understand your role throughout. Are you to primarily support the outgoing President? Will the incoming President be bringing their own Chief of Staff or will you instead be in the role of liaison between the two?

1. 1. Planning for the Outgoing President

In this section, we will discuss how you can play a critical role in ensuring a smooth transition for the outgoing President. This will include housing, the timing of the announcement, and the role of the President if they plan to remain connected to the institution.

1. 1. Learning the Incoming President’s Plan

During this section, we will talk about the possibilities of your role during the search and onboarding process. If you are serving as the Chief of Staff for the new President, you will simultaneously be managing the outgoing President’s needs as well as the incoming President’s. We will discuss key conversations to have with the incoming President and decisions to ensure a smooth exchange between the two leadership teams.

1. 1. Your To-Do List

In this final section, we will recap your “to-do” list if you have an imminent transition on the horizon. This will help you to take immediate action after the webcast.
