KLB HOSTS SIXTH ANNUAL STATE CONFERENCE

KLB is hosting its sixth annual state conference on August 21-22, 2008, at the West Monroe Convention Center in West Monroe, LA.  

The 2008 conference will focus on issues relating to littering and its impact on economic development in Louisiana, recycling, trends in litter law enforcement, and sustainability of community anti-litter programs. Session topics will cover updates on recent statewide and national initiatives, including projects and programs from KLB affiliates and recent community grant recipients.

This year’s keynote speaker is Del Boyette of Boyette Levy in Atlanta, GA. A seasoned economic development professional with roots in Northeast Louisiana and experience far beyond our state and region offers insight into the role clean communities play in today's competitive business environment. Boyette has also been involved with numerous corporation site selections, all of whose decisions clearly demonstrate the impact of clean communities on economic development.
