Keep PA Beautiful 2024 Summit For Community Stewardship In Scranton Oct. 16-17

The Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful 2024 Summit for Community Stewardship will be held in coordination with the departments of Environmental Protection, Transportation and Community and Economic Development on October 16 and 17 at the Hilton in the City of Scranton. 

The theme of this year's Summit is-- Bridging Action, Infrastructure, Policy and Innovation.

The Summit provides state agencies, participating stakeholders and concerned residents of Pennsylvania an opportunity to convene and reflect on past work, share experiences, and learn together. 

In addition to repeating breakout sessions on marine debris and policy levers for stewardship and education, attendees will hear from national community stewards about the link between community activism and stewardship from Kristine Zieglar, Planet Women and the Power of Beauty from Dave Forsell, Keep America Beautiful. 

Bob Anderson from Closed Loop Partners will provide valuable insights on the evolution of community recycling infrastructure and how to empower communities to recycle more.

Plan to join Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful, affiliates, volunteers and state agency and community partners as they shine a spotlight on Scranton and build on and celebrate our collective efforts to improve our communities across Pennsylvania.
