|
Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful and PA CleanWays this week announced they have formally completed their merger with the organization’s new bylaws being approved at the Annual Business meeting of the former PA CleanWays network. The organization will operate under the Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful name. The mission of the organization is to empower Pennsylvanians to make our communities clean and beautiful.
Jim Bonner, the new Board Chair of Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful explains, “Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful engages, inspires, and empowers hundreds of thousands of volunteers annually and will continue those efforts as we work towards our vision of a clean and beautiful Pennsylvania.”
Other officers elected include; Vice Chair, Dave McCorkle, CEO of the PA Food Merchants Association, Treasurer, Dave Brunner, Finance Director for Pittsburgh Action Against Rape, and Secretary, Maitreyi Roy, VP of Programs for the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society.
For a full list of Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful board members is available online.
“Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful is honored to be a state affiliate of Keep America Beautiful and will work to bring the benefits of the national organization to Pennsylvania,” said Shannon Reiter, President of Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful.
The Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful affiliate network consists of 20 local affiliate organizations and hundreds of volunteer adoption coordinators across the state. Through its efforts, most notably the Great American Cleanup of PA, the organization has cleaned up nearly 80 million pounds of trash from Pennsylvania roadways, forest lands, cities, greenways, parks, and streams.
Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful will also work closely with the six Keep America Beautiful local affiliates in Pennsylvania.
Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful would like to give special recognition to the current business council members that supported the merger of PA CleanWays and Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful, including the American Chemistry Council, Steel Recycling Institute, Keystone Sanitary Landfill, PA Beverage Association, PA Waste Industries Association, Pennsylvania Food Merchants Association, and Waste Management.
The Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful office will be at 105 West 4th Street, Greensburg, PA, 15601. For more information on the organization, or to become a member or volunteer, please call 877-772-3673 or Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful online.
