NorthSky was engaged to work with the Recreational Authority and also structure the memo of understanding for the nonprofits occupying publicly owned park land. “This was a unique partnership,” notes Benjamin Marentette, the Authority’s executive director and deputy city clerk. “NorthSky’s Debbie McKeon brokered the arrangement, brought the three nonprofits together, and facilitated a dynamic and respectful framework that gave everyone an equal voice.”
