Many nonprofit organizations view mergers as a last resort, a reaction to financial distress or leadership vacuum. But what if CAA leaders considered mergers proactively—as a way to encourage organizational growth, strengthen effectiveness, replicate best practices—and to do so in a cost-effective manner? This webinar explores how CAAs can reframe mergers as tools for furthering their impact. We discuss the merger planning process and legal structuring, as well as tackle potential barriers to successful mergers, including Head Start competition issues, organizational culture, and the post-merger integration process.
