Executive succession in individual membership or professional associations is a major organizational change that has system-wide implications. Although the theme of change permeates the secondary literature on executive succession, very few boards of directors of these nonprofit organizations view executive succession as organizational change. This mixed methodology study looks at executive succession in individual membership or professional associations in light of organizational change theory. The study does not include trade associations or business leagues. The major finding that emerged from the quantitative portion of this study was that the most common method of choosing an executive director is to appoint a search committee to conduct the search.

520 $a Executive succession in individual membership or professional associations is a major organizational change that has system-wide implications. Although the theme of change permeates the secondary literature on executive succession, very few boards of directors of these nonprofit organizations view executive succession as organizational change. This mixed methodology study looks at executive succession in individual membership or professional associations in light of organizational change theory. The study does not include trade associations or business leagues. The major finding that emerged from the quantitative portion of this study was that the most common method of choosing an executive director is to appoint a search committee to conduct the search.
520 $a Thus, the vast majority of individual membership associations do not employ methods known to successfully implement change in an organization such as using the services of an outside interim executive director, employing a search firm, and conducting strategic planning prior to the search. Even large associations with the financial ability to hire a search firm and interim and undertake strategic planning, are likely to use only a search committee of the board to find their next executive. Yet, the qualitative research for this study indicates that these common search practices are not effective or productive, and in many cases can result in serious consequences for an organization.
520 $a The implications of this research are that benchmarks have been established on actual practices of executive succession within individual membership associations. Much more research in the area needs to be done so individual membership associations can be aware of best practices and how executive succession is important to successful organizational change since the rate of executive departures in individual membership organizations is increasing due to a variety of reasons ranging from increasing numbers of baby boomers who are retiring to increased stress and demands on the CEO.
