Keep America Beautiful Affiliate Hub Resources
Keep America Beautiful has created: A Guide to the Affiliate Hub to assist with reporting. It includes a step by step process with screenshots of how to login to the Affiliate Hub, how to register events, and how to report on events. We also included a guide without screenshots for those wishing to have that route. There is also a list of activities they can collect data on throughout their events, and an FAQ page at the very end. As we go through the office hours, we will continue to update the guide, specifically the FAQ page. Please feel free to share this with your local affiliates in your own time. If I have been slow to respond to you over the last couple of weeks, this is why. I've been working very diligently with our staff to ensure this guide is simple, straight forward, etc.
Don't be shy! Check out the KAB Affiliate Hub YouTube channel to view training videos and resources to get you started.
