There is no single organizational model for managing urban parks. Instead, cities have found varying ways to provide management and programming.
Kathy Blaha Consulting (KBC) is a parks projects adviser to nonprofits, grant-making organizations and public agencies providing guidance on creating and implementing projects for parks, with a focus on public-private partnerships.
KBC provides strategy around partnership development and park planning goals. We offer expertise in working with a few or a myriad of stakeholders on collaborative endeavors. And we work to leverage strategy and engagement into successful projects.

She has spent her career working for nonprofit organizations and has a strong sense of entrepreneurial community service. Kathy brings an awareness of the practical challenges of creating and keeping partnerships gained from being in the field and a track record of success.
