Hi folks, my department is currently assisting with a sister city event that requires an MOU. Do you mind sharing which department/person/post(s) were responsible for creating the MOU at your CO? Were legal professionals consulted? If you or people you know were involved in the creation process, please share as much information as possible. Thank you very much!

We had an MOU for a program with a sister city.
Basically, it just states in writing the responsibilities of each party and money matters, etc. and ofc we showed the draft to the sister city before we finalized it.
