About The New York Landmarks Conservancy: The New York Landmarks Conservancy is dedicated to celebrating, preserving and protecting the iconic buildings and diverse neighborhoods that define this vibrant and extraordinary City.

The Conservancy is the only private organization that provides both financial and technical support in this effort. Since its founding in 1973, it has loaned and granted more than $36 million to help people save their homes, cultural, civic and religious institutions. These grants and loans have in turn mobilized more than $1 billion in 1,550 restoration projects throughout New York providing much-need economic stimulus and local jobs. No other group is engaged in such a hands-on way in protecting the rich architectural heritage of the City. The Conservancy’s work creates jobs, promotes tourism and enhances the quality of life for all New Yorkers.

Each year, the Landmarks Conservancy honors distinguished New Yorkers as “Living Landmarks” for their contributions to the City.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
