Successful transitions...

- Build leadership teams and foster trust in the organization’s leaders.
- Maintain progress toward organizational goals and capitalize on recent accomplishments.
- Provide an opportunity for outgoing officers to reflect on their experiences in support of their future leadership and career endeavors.
