A Practical Succession Planning Workshop

Don’t miss AAIM’s Succession Madness: Building a Championship Bench webinar —presented in partnership with MRA.

This half-day, interactive workshop helps organizations move succession planning from an informal conversation to a clear, structured process. You will explore a practical framework that clarifies what succession planning truly involves, how the pieces connect, and how to approach the work in a realistic, repeatable way.

While this webinar will not leave you with a completed succession plan, you will gain the confidence, structure, and perspective needed to move forward with purpose and follow-through.
