As I step into the role of Executive Director, I’m filled with a deep sense of gratitude and excitement for the future of Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful. This organization has been a part of my life for over two decades, starting when I was just 16 years old and volunteered at my very first cleanup. What began as a simple act of service quickly grew into a lifelong passion for environmental stewardship and community connection.

Over the past 21 years, I’ve served in many capacities, from a volunteer, to educator, to program leader and for the last four years, I’ve had the privilege of working on staff alongside a dedicated team and incredible community partners. Today, I’m honored to continue that journey in leading Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful into its next chapter.

​

Our mission is rooted in collaboration. Whether it's through cleanups, education, beautification projects, or tree plantings, everything we accomplish is because of our volunteers, supporters, and partners who believe in protecting the natural beauty of Tampa Bay. Your commitment and generosity are the heart of our success, and I’m excited to grow that impact even further with you.

​

If you're new to Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful, I invite you to join us. Whether it’s your first cleanup or your hundredth, there’s a place for everyone here. Together, we can inspire change, nurture our environment, and build a legacy of sustainability for generations to come.

Thank you for being a part of this community. Let’s keep Tampa Bay beautiful, together!

With gratitude,
Kristina Moreta
Executive Director
