“The Naperville Park District has enjoyed an excellent working relationship with GreenMark Public Relations on its Nike Sports Complex Expansion Project. With an already stretched communications staff at the Park District, GreenMark was brought on to develop and execute a comprehensive community engagement and communications plan. Their professionalism in working on the project from conception to implementation was appreciated, and its responsiveness to project team members and stakeholders went above and beyond expectations. It was evident from the very beginning of the project that GreenMark was knowledgeable about public engagement processes and we had total confidence in its ability to work behind the scenes on the Nike initiative while the District’s communications staff attended to other projects. GreenMark became a great extension of our Marketing and Communications Department and delivered an end product that not only was in line with our expectations, but our stakeholders’ expectations as well.” - Sameera Luthman, Naperville Park District
