3 STEPS TO A r.T.'R&1IR1l COII......l1:'!
Over 400 cities, towns and counties in 40 states are implementing the Keep
America Beautiful System. Your community can join a growing number of KAB
affiliates working to improve their local environment. Here's how:
Steo 1: Comoletion of an Aoolication for Certification
Your local government or a sponsoring organization submits an application
to Keep America Beautiful, Inc. on behalf of your community. Included
with the application is a letter from your highest ranking public
official(s) endorsing the formation of your local KAB program.
Steo 2: PaYment of a One-Time Certification Fee
A certification fee is paid to Keep America Beautiful, Inc. based on your
community's population (see fee schedule). This initial membership is a
one-time fee and supports the development of your KAB System inCluding:
training your community representatives at a one-day Organizational Team
Training WorkShop, all training and informational materials to guide
early program development, the field visit by a KAB National
Representative to conduct the certification meeting and to guide and
counsel your local leaders in developing the most effective program for
your community, and includes your official KAB affiliation as part of the
national network.
Steo 3: Attendance at the Or2anizational Team Trainin2 Workshoo
Three community representatives attend a one-day training workshop where
team members learn how to adapt KAB's methods to your community (see
attached). They receive training on KAB's fact gathering techniques (the
Photometric Index and Litter Solid Waste Survey). These fact gathering
tools provide your community with a baseline measurement from which to
evaluate and develop an action plan to work toward a cleaner
environment. The team is given step-by-step instruction from KAB's
professional training staff and receives "how to" manuals and other
materials to help in the organization and development of your local
program. All costs for complete training and materials are covered by
the certification fee.
To ensure a new affiliates success after the workshop, KAB
and monitoring to complete the tasks outlined at the training.

But, it doesn't stop there. KAB sponsors training sessions and education
conferences, develops educational materials, curriculum guides and information
manuals. Importantly, KAB is a network of good ideas sharing success stories
and program ideas on what's working in other KAB System programs across the
country.
