An updated version of the RWHAP Part B and ADAP Succession Planning Guide is now available.

First produced in 2023, this toolkit assists health departments in increasing awareness of the succession planning process, developing a succession plan, and creating resources to help prepare successors for their new roles. Sections include:

Steps in the Succession Planning Process

  1. Identify mission-critical positions that require succession planning.
  2. Create position profiles for identified positions.
  3. Assess and identify qualified staff’s skills and interest.
  4. Create a development plan and engage staff in learning opportunities.
  5. Evaluate.

The guide also includes Key Considerations for RWHAP Part Bs and ADAPs during Leadership Transitions and Succession Planning Resources.
