How to Transition Your Hub to a New Hub Leader

The hub leadership was never intended to be a lifetime role. We recognize the time will come when you will be ready or will need to pass the proverbial baguette. The following process will help to guide this effort and create a smooth transition and continuity for our Breader Together efforts.

FYI – It is helpful to transition hubs at specific times of the calendar year when other activities for our non-profit are slower. If you can plan for an August or December transition, that is ideal. Life events don’t always happen at an ideal time, but if we have the luxury of time, August or December are best.

Here are the steps:

• Notify Katherine that you’re looking to find new leadership for the hub.
• Together, you’ll talk through any logical successor candidates, perhaps existing delegates and/or super helpful hub members.
• You’ll agree on a desired timeline and a communication plan to the hub to solicit interest.
• Any interested candidates will need to attend a hub training session. You and Katherine will encourage folks to attend this hub leader training.
• Although only one person can be a hub leader, the opportunity to train multiple people at once helps create a knowledgeable leadership team that can support one another.
• In the unlikely event that nobody emerges able/willing to take on these responsibilities, the hub will be closed, and hub members will be reassigned to the next closest hub.

Please notify Katherine (katherine@communityloaves.org) if you would like to begin the hub transition process.
