FEWA History

As a member of FEWA, you are part of a tradition of history and service of associations. FEWA is an outgrowth of the National Association of H-2B Users (NAH2BU). In 1998, a few H-2B users banded together to unite for a common cause, a temporary seasonal migrant worker program that worked. The main purpose was to interact with the National and Regional offices of the USDOL, INS and elected officials to improve the H-2 programs for the entire H-2 community. The earliest members were Duane Keesen of Colorado, Chuck Twist of Oklahoma, Mark Borst and Joe Palimeno of New Jersey, and Scott Evans of Texas. The dues were $25.00 per year, and volunteers ran the association. At one point there were 236 member-companies. Read more.
