Passing the Baton: CHROs Share the Secrets Behind CEO Succession

When it comes to CEO succession, there's more at stake than just a corner office. It's a high-stakes relay race—strategic, swift, and full of opportunities for both missteps and mastery. 

The University of South Carolina’s Center for Executive Succession is hosting a webinar on the CHRO’s unique role in the process – and is providing registration for HR Policy members at no cost. 

Register here for Working with the Board on C-suite Succession: Lessons Learned as a CHRO June 17^th from 12:00 – 1:30 pm ET Featuring:

• Deborah Wintner, Stanley Black & Decker 

• Tony Norwood, Saia 

• Malavika Sagar, TE Connectivity

This session will spotlight real-world lessons and behind-the-scenes insights from HRPA-member CHROs sharing how they navigated board dynamics, aligned on leadership profiles, and prepared for smooth, strategic successions. 

Succession isn’t just about the next leader—it’s about the future of the company. Don’t miss your chance to learn from the experts who’ve been in the room where it happens.
