Inside Look: How One Nonprofit Is Building Its Leadership Development Pipeline with Jeremy Bouman

While leadership transitions are inevitable, there are too many organizations that aren’t prepared for this eventuality.

In this episode, I’ve got Jeremy Bouman with me to explore how nonprofit leadership development and intentional succession planning can protect your mission and ensure your organization continues to thrive long after a founder or executive leader steps away.

Jeremy is the founder and CEO of Rise, a Nebraska nonprofit dedicated to breaking generational cycles of incarceration. Jeremy shares how his team approaches succession planning not just as a document, but as a strategy for organizational development and long-term sustainability.
