A fundraiser
Not just the total: the campaign details, messages, sponsor relationships, fulfillment lessons, and financial outcome.
Next chair: Repeat what worked, begin earlier where needed, and improve the campaign.
Board continuity
Give the next board a working starting point.
A useful handoff preserves why the work happened and what the next board should do.

Access is not enough
A folder is not the same as a handoff.
A shared drive may hold every file. A new board still has to discover what worked and what to do next.
What a useful handoff keeps
Keep the decisions behind the work.
Meeting minutes, bylaws, and formal documents matter. Future leaders also need the context behind the work, not just the files it produced.
Big Nest keeps those details connected to the fundraiser, event, sponsor drive, or program they explain.
What future leaders need
The next board needs an answer, not just a record.
An event
Not just the date: ticket sales, volunteer needs, check-in details, planning rhythm, results, and notes.
Next chair: Start with the previous plan instead of reconstructing the event from memory.
A sponsor relationship
Not just the contribution: who made the introduction, what recognition was promised, the history of support, and when to reconnect.
Next chair: Begin the next conversation with shared history instead of a cold ask.
Make this year’s work useful to the people who follow.
Keep decisions, relationships, and results connected to the work they explain.
