Keep Sedona Beautiful violated ethics, transparency and its nonprofit charter recently when it took a political stance on a controversial local ballot initiative on Sedona's August 2018 election. KSB denied it was taking a stance as an organization, but two officers submitted statements of support for the initiative in their official capacity as KSB board members that were published in the Voter Info Guide for the election. KSB also disseminated this side's propaganda to members and refused to be accountable for the false and misleading info therein. After being notified the information was inaccurate, the president claimed KSB was not taking a position and had merely disseminated to its members the information provided (without verifying the accuracy). After this reply and after being notified of the specific and important inaccuracies, KSB did it again, sending a second message to members. Again the president claimed KSB was not taking a side and stated in light of claims that the info was not accurate, KSB would not provide any other comments on the matter... thus not allowing advocates of the other side of the initiative equal opportunity to promote its version to members or at least clarify the innacurate and false information. KSB never issued a correction to members. KSB clearly took a stand as an organization and supported the political initiative. This is a gross breach of ethics. I will not be renewing my membership.

KSB has been an important part of our community for 45 years, doing the 'heavy lifting' picking up litter on our roads, advocating for the environment, and supporting responsible ordinances on such things as signage and covered loads.

involvement in the community Sedona is a better place to live.

When I moved to Sedona, I couldn't wait to sign up as a Keep Sedona Beautiful litter lifter volunteer. I wanted every visitor to experience the beautiful scenery and not see trash along side the roadways as they entered the area. The organization has a long history of providing leadership in local environmental issues of importance to both the community and visitors. If it wasn't for Keep Sedona Beautiful, this area would not look like it does now. I am proud to be a part of this organization.

KSB Litter Lifters are out every week picking up roadside litter-trash-..
What a dedicated group of volunteers.. I hear KSB has been doing this work for 45 years. WOW.
KSB also supports and has helped preserve our dark night skies through responsible lighting initiatives and community cooperation.
Our family strongly agrees with KSB's long standing preservation work.

Keep Sedona Beautiful has been a community treasure since the 1970’s, which is well before Sedona was even an incorporated city. The quality of life for Sedona residents and the national and world-wide reputation Sedona enjoys as one of the most beautiful places on earth are due, in large part, to the efforts of this amazing organization. I’m proud to have served as a KSB Litter Lifter for over 10 years and I do whatever I can to support the work of KSB.

Keep Sedona Beautiful is a wonderful organization that works to Preserve the Wonder of Sedona's beautiful scenic natural beauty today and for the future. It's helps preserve the beauty in many ways, from litter lifting to working to preserve our magnificent dark night skies. Being a KSB Board member is a rewarding experience.

In addition, KSB on behalf of its membership and the community advocate to "keep Sedona beautiful" through its work in the areas of zoning, noise abatement, dark skies, and signage, to name a few!

I believe in this organization 100%. I have moved to another state but still remain on the board. They truly meet their purpose in keeping Sedona beautiful. For the good of the community and beyond.

Keep Sedona Beautiful keeps the entire area aware of the need to protect the beauty of this place. By education and advocacy KSB is a force in the community and reminds the residents, visitors and businesses of the wonder of this locale and the constant need to protect it.

I attend the Native Plant Workshop every year. I really enjoy it. I always learn something new. I think it helps populate the Sedona area with native plants and results in more sustainability.

This is a great local group that does very god work keeping Sedona a beautiful place to live. I particularly appreciate ther work keeping over 60 miles of Sedona roads clear of litter and trash.

Keep Sedona Beautiful has been environmental stewards since 1972, that is 45 years of preserving the wonder! KSB's mission is to protect and sustain the unique scenic beauty and natural environment of the Greater Sedona Area and that is what they have been doing for 45 years.
KSB educates and advocates on behalf of its membership and the community on zoning, lighting and signage issues, community plans, Forest Service plans, environmental impact studies and regional government issues.
If we didn't have KSB, there would be be no one doing this!

KSB continues to do wonderful things, such as co- founding the Sustainability Alliance., which has noe certified more than 30 businesses as to their sustainability practices.

I have been a member of Keep Sedona Beautiful for about six years. It is the only organization I know of that works to protect our environment, to ensure litter free roads in the region, to educate on matters of environmental interest, and to provide speakers on various subjects.

This organization has served the Sedona area for many years. I'm impressed with their organized roadside litter removal program. I joined and have my own one-mile section of highway and feel good about removing any litter because it detracts from the scenic view of red rocks and juniper-pine woodlands. KSB works to minimize the human footprint in this special environment. When there is conflict, they often lead the way to find a solution that best protects this special place.

Having worked for the mission of KSB for about 19 years, it is hard to find another organization with a better vision. Continue to do the work you have done.
