National Association of Landscape Professionals Designates FEWA as Strategic Provider for H-2B Services
(Fairfax, VA., June 27, 2023) —The National Association of Landscape Professionals has formed a strategic provider relationship with the Federation of Employers and Workers of America (“FEWA”) a nonprofit association created to assist employers and workers with labor needs; with specific expertise in assisting employers navigate the H-2B visa program.
Finding seasonal workers continues to be the top obstacle confronting the landscape industry and the H-2B guest worker program is critical to alleviating the current work force crisis. The landscape industry is the largest user of the H-2B program and NALP is the national voice advocating for cap relief.
“We receive questions and concerns about the H-2B program from members and prospective members on a near daily basis because of the complexity and uncertainty associated with the program,” explained Andrew Bray Senior Vice President of NALP. “FEWA and NALP have been collaborating on our H-2B advocacy efforts for many years and this new partnership will only strengthen our collaboration while also offering their expertise to NALP members.”
“FEWA members have the unique benefit of joining one association to file the H-2B paperwork, process workers abroad, advocate in DC, educate on compliance, and have access to legal resources,” explained Arnulfo Hinojosa, Vice President of FEWA. We take pride in working with respectable employers that are willing and capable of following the rules such as NALP members.
NALP’s new partnership with FEWA will give members access to FEWA’s expertise. Members will also have access to exclusive content, including webinars and other resources, to help program users stay compliant with the programs’ complex rules and regulations.
