Executive Leadership
Mark Robinson — Executive Director
Mark has served as Executive Director since The Compact’s founding in 1986 and is the "go-to" person for all open space matters on Cape Cod. In his role, he oversees personnel, handles all administrative tasks, assigns work among staff, and works closely with the Treasurer to ensure financial accountability. He also provides direct project management for larger, more complex land preservation projects.
Our Team & Collaborative Approach
Complementary Skills
Our staff members bring specialized backgrounds and skills in law, policy, and nonprofit management.
Team-Based Problem Solving
The Compact frequently utilizes a team-based approach to tackle complex land conservation challenges.
Specialist Network
We draw upon a wide network of professionals throughout Cape Cod who volunteer their time and expertise in surveying, appraising, financial management, field studies, and fundraising.
Governance & Board Oversight
While staff manage daily operations and execution, The Compact is governed by a Board of Directors comprised solely of volunteer delegates representing each member land trust. The Board meets bimonthly to govern organizational policy, budgets, and personnel policies.
