NALP Partners with FEWA to Aid in Navigating the H-2B Visa Program

Partnership Creates Access to FEWA Expertise
by Staff

NALP and FEWA partnership will allow members to utilize resources from FEWA's network.

National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP) has partnered with the Federation of Employers and Workers of America (FEWA), a nonprofit that was created to assist employers and workers with labor needs such as the H-2B visa program, to facilitate member access to FEWA's expertise.

According to their website, "For 20 years, the H-2 community has relied on FEWA staff for government agency relations, expertise and knowledge of the H-2 programs. FEWA staff helps to educate and keep employer and worker members informed and up to date on H-2 programs." The association is an active member in advocacy organizations for their 7,500 members.

In early June 2023, H-2B was added to the FY 24 base text funding bill to hopefully jumpstart funding for a permanent returning worker exemption. This partnership with FEWA will be a great way to offer landscape workers legal assistance.

"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."
