In qualifying for the President’s Circle Award, Keep Nassau Beautiful has met Keep America Beautiful’s standards of merit by conducting an annual Community Appearance Index, calculating the affiliate’s cost/benefit ratio, and administering initiatives to end littering, improve recycling, and beautify Nassau County communities. Keep Nassau Beautiful is one of Keep America Beautiful’s more than 600 community-based affiliates whose programs, initiatives and efforts, supported by millions of volunteers, help transform public spaces into beautiful places.

“One of our nation’s most effective grassroots community resources is our local affiliates, which engage millions of Americans in volunteer service each year,” said Keep America Beautiful President and CEO Helen Lowman. “Our affiliates provide real solutions that help create communities that are socially connected, environmentally healthy and economically sound. They enrich the communities they serve and help create opportunities for Americans to do beautiful things.”

“Keep Nassau Beautiful Board of Directors and staff appreciate the support of our local volunteers and partners,” said Lynda Bell, Executive Director, KNB. “We also have tremendous support from Nassau County Solid Waste Department, City of Fernandina Beach, Town of Hilliard, and Advanced Disposal. Our programs depend many individuals working together to beautify Nassau County.”
