Ferris MyCue, Owner of Grass Works Lawn Care
After dealing with the unreliability of the H-2B Program, I knew that I needed to play my part to fix the problem. I saw how active SEA was and decided to join. Since joining SEA, I have become much more effective in my advocacy efforts and am confident that we will finally fix this program. I encourage every employer to join and do their part to obtain cap relief. You can't sit on the sidelines and expect good results.
David Jurcak, President of the Grand Hotel
My first encounter with the Seasonal Employment Alliance was when they held their annual strategy meeting at my hotel, the Grand Hotel, last September. I could not have been more impressed with their presentation and the team they have assembled. The value-add of joining SEA is not to receive an analysis of the cap demand, which they do well, but to contribute to their relentless advocacy for program expansion with Congress and with the Trump administration. They are leading the charge in D.C. and I encourage every program user to join SEA to complement the information you receive from your agent/attorney.
Nancy White, Managing Director of the Cliff House Inn
As Managing Director of the Cliff House Maine, one of New England’s coastal luxury resorts, it is critical that we provide the consistent level of service our guests expect. This requires ensuring that our seasonal, H-2B staff returns each year. Our membership in SEA has enabled us to stay up to date on the latest program trends but most importantly, SEA is leading the initiative for additional visas and program certainty in Washington D.C. That representation is vital to our success. It is clear from following SEA’s emails and participating in their events, that they are at the tip of the spear in H-2B program advocacy in Congress and with the Trump administration. I encourage all program users to support the cause by joining SEA.
Aubrey Vincent, Sales Manager at Lindy's Seafood
I joined SEA because I knew we needed to be proactive in fixing the H-2B Program. The industry’s advocacy efforts had stagnated. SEA was the loudest voice I heard trying to reach a long-term solution, resulting in more progress in the past year than I’ve seen in the whole 20 years our company has been in the program. I believe SEA’s approach of collaboration, effective communication, and thinking outside the box is the path forward for H-2B program advocacy and is the organization that companies who depend on the H-2B program should belong to.
Scott Muelhauser, Owner of Scott’s Power Equipment
I saw the direct impact of the H-2B visa cap on my customers. My customers who were capped out could not afford new equipment. The H-2B cap has cost my business over $2 million in sales. The H-2B visa cap doesn't only affect the end user and its American workers but also equipment dealers like Scott's Power but suppliers and even equipment manufacturers. This is why I chose to get involved and join SEA. SEA is the most active organization advocating for a permanent H-2B cap fix. I urge every outdoor equipment dealer to support SEA and to do their part to obtain an H-2B cap fix.
Lesli Downs, President of Southern Impact
Since the founding of SEA, SEA has made unmatched strides towards H-2B Cap Relief. We are closer than ever before to a permanent cap increase because of SEA's efforts and the relationships SEA has formed with H-2B employers and legislators. As an agent, it is helpful to be a member of an organization with other agents and active employers. The information the members provide and the resources I have access to ensure I am on top of all aspects of the ever-shifting H-2B program. This helps me provide the best possible service to my clients.
Bob Trost, Owner of Trost Irrigation
As the owner of Trost Irrigation, Inc. in Orion Township, Michigan, and as an employer who did not receive my H-2B workers until mid-May this year, I cannot overstate how beneficial it has been to be a SEA member. The analysis and information I receive from SEA is often days or weeks ahead of my agent. The SEA staff is readily accessible to answer any questions I may have. I also recently attended their event at Mar-a-Lago and can unequivocally say SEA is leading the charge for H-2B program advocacy with the Trump administration and in Congress. Every H-2B program user needs to contribute to the fight and be a member of SEA.
