Hiring a new CEO is one of the most important transitions that any family foundation must go through. The role of a family foundation chief executive is unique—running a philanthropic enterprise in partnership with a family. This webinar, based on the first-ever guides for hiring and orienting a family foundation CEO, will help any family thinking about how to achieve their shared dreams for family philanthropy and how to find the right person to take them there. This program will feature the perspectives of two family foundations that have recently hired a first-time CEO.
