2020 Keep America Beautiful Annual Conference
The 2020 Keep America Beautiful (KAB) National Conference was held February 12-14, 2020 in Memphis, Tennessee. This event was an educational, training and networking forum for the organization’s community-based affiliates, as well as leaders, experts, and policymakers in the field of community improvement. It provided an opportunity to discuss innovative ideas and goals for national and local community beautification initiatives, anti-littering campaigns, and improvements to the way we recycle and manage waste.
The conference included the KAB National Awards program where affiliates across the country were recognized for their programs and the hard work they do to lead beautification efforts and projects that promote litter prevention. Florida once again walked away with several high honors!
