Apply for Founding PartnerWhat $5,000 Gets You (And What It Saves You)
Your Investment:
- • $2,500 one-time founding fee (includes Year 1 membership)
- • $2,400/year starting Year 2 (50% off for life)
- • Total Year 1: $2,500 | Regular members pay: $4,800
1. $2,400 Saved Every Year (Forever)
Regular Enterprise membership: $4,800/year. You pay $2,400/year. Difference: $2,400/year in your pocket. After 10 years, you've saved $24,000.
2. Advisory Council Seat (Permanent)
Meet quarterly with other founding members. Vote on membership standards, compliance requirements, certification policies. Regular members have no vote - they follow rules you help create.
Council meets: Quarterly (virtual) + annual in-person summit
Your authority: Vote on who can join NEWA, what insurance minimums are required, what compliance resources are provided, and how the industry network operates.
3. Top 3 Directory Placement (3 Years)
When companies search for environmental staffing in your area, you appear in top 3 results for 3 years. After 3 years, you still appear - just not guaranteed top 3. Regular members never get guaranteed placement.
Example: Company searches "asbestos staffing Ohio" → Your agency appears in positions 1-3 for 3 full years.
4. Founding Member Badge (Permanent)
Your profile displays "Founding Partner Since 2026" forever. Signals industry leadership to potential clients. Only available to first 20 Founding Partners.
5. OSHA Compliance Template Library ($2,500 Value)
Attorney-reviewed safety documentation, employment agreements, OSHA forms (300, 300A, 301), client contracts. Regular agencies pay lawyers $250/hour to create these.
Templates included: HAZWOPER training documentation, employment agreements and contractor classification guides, OSHA recordkeeping forms, client service agreements (asbestos, lead, mold, hazmat), Certificate of Insurance request templates.
6. Training Discounts (Save $2,000-$10,000/Year)
10-20% off OSHA HAZWOPER, EPA asbestos certifications, lead-safe training, IICRC mold courses. OSHA requires HAZWOPER recertification every 12 months - this discount applies every year.
Example savings for 10-employee agency:
- • 10 workers × $200 HAZWOPER savings = $2,000/year
- • 2 supervisors × $300 asbestos license savings = $600/year
- • Total: $2,600/year in training cost savings

Questions Before You Apply?
How much does Founding Partner cost?
$2,500 one-time investment includes Year 1 membership + 50% lifetime discount. Starting Year 2, you pay $2,400/year (Enterprise tier) instead of $4,800. You save $2,300 in Year 1, then $2,400 every year after. 10-year total savings: $21,600+.
What if I can't afford $2,500 right now?
Charter Member is $1,500 (includes Year 1 membership + 25% lifetime discount). Starting Year 2, you pay $3,600/year instead of $4,800. You save $3,300 in Year 1, then $1,200 every year after. 30 Charter spots available versus 20 Founding Partner spots.
What if NEWA doesn't launch?
Full refund guaranteed. If NEWA doesn't launch as planned, you get 100% of your $2,500 (or $1,500) back. Zero risk. No questions asked.
Why should I trust this?
NEWA is founded by Juan Rivera, Director of Business Growth at Bergman Brothers Staffing (national environmental staffing agency). Juan has 10+ years in the industry with 1,000+ placements across 43 states.
Can I join later at the same price?
No. Founding Partner ($2,500) and Charter Member ($1,500) opportunities close when spots fill. After that, only regular membership at $4,800/year with no lifetime discount, no Advisory Council, no premium placement, no founding badge.
What if my business is too small for Enterprise tier?
You still get the Founding Partner benefits (Advisory Council, badge, premium placement). If you're Emerging tier (1-25 employees) today, you pay $600/year instead of $1,200 (50% off). If you grow to Enterprise later, you still pay 50% off forever.
When will I know if my application is approved?
Applications are reviewed promptly. We verify insurance ($1M+ liability, $500K+ workers comp) and OSHA compliance. You'll receive confirmation via email and phone.
What's the Advisory Council and why does it matter?
20 Founding Partners vote on membership standards, compliance requirements, and NEWA policies. Example: You vote on what certifications are required for member agencies, what insurance minimums are acceptable, what compliance resources NEWA provides. Regular members follow these rules - you help create them.
When do I start getting leads?
Directory will launch in 2026. Founding members get early access to set up profiles before public launch. Companies can search for environmental staffing immediately when live.
Can I cancel and get my $2,500 back later?
The $2,500 founding fee is non-refundable after NEWA launches (except full refund if NEWA doesn't launch as planned). Annual dues can be cancelled at renewal with 30 days notice. Your 50% discount only applies while membership is active.
What if I apply and get rejected?
Full refund if your application is rejected. We verify insurance ($1M+ liability, $500K+ workers comp) and OSHA compliance.
Is this a limited-time offer?
Yes. Founding Partner ($2,500) closes when 20 spots fill. Charter Member ($1,500) closes when 30 spots fill. After that, only regular membership available - no discounts, no founding benefits.
Zero Risk. Full Refund Guarantee.
If NEWA doesn't launch as planned, you receive 100% of your founding fee back ($2,500 or $1,500). No questions asked.
Your only risk is missing the deadline and paying full price forever.
