Chesapeake Environmental Improvement Council (CEIC) 

History:
The CEIC was formed in 1983 by then-Mayor Sidney M. Oman. Prior to that, there are records from 1978 indicating that the Council was known as the Litter Control Council under Mayor Marian P. Whitehurst. 

Purpose:
The purpose of the Chesapeake Environmental Improvement Council shall be to promote interest in the general improvement of the environment of Chesapeake thereby making Chesapeake a cleaner place to live.

Mission:
To promote litter prevention, recycling, and beautification by providing citizens an opportunity to get involved at the grassroots level. 

Eighteen volunteers are appointed by the Mayor to serve three-year terms on the governing board. However, thousands of other volunteers are actively involved in CEIC projects and sub-committees. Visitors are welcome to attend CEIC monthly meetings.
