Bi-Monthly WSA Member Updates

As a WSA Member, you'll be among the first to learn a wide variety of information you can actually use in your business. Every two weeks WSA Members are updated on the latest sweeping-related news and information, from equipment updates to the latest OSHA regs, HR posting requirements and the scoop on what national service providers (aka third party vendors) are up to.

Our WSA Member Updates also contain other WSA Member-only articles, webinars, links to emerging legislation and other info we think you'd want to know. Plus, all this information is archived in my Director's Blog section for easy look-back reference. Here's what Jay Presutti, president of East Coast Industrial Services, has to say about the WSA Member Updates he receives: "I get more information from one of the World Sweeping Association's bi-monthly news updates than I've ever gotten total from any other industry association I've belonged to." Jay's sentiments have also been echoed by a number of other sweeping contractors who are current WSA Members.

Access to a Complete List of Third Party Vendors

Use of third party vendors (aka national service providers) has become the norm for many large retail chains. Not only does WSA provide its Members with the contact information for each; with a few mouse clicks, Members can see and benefit from the comments of other sweeping contractors who have used the companies. WSA also provides a number of articles designed to assist you in navigating the many pitfalls that can occur when working with these organizations.

• Gold-level Listing in WorldSweeper.com's Industry-Leading Online Contractor Locator

Our WSA affiliate, WorldSweeper.com, is the leading information resource for power sweeping on the internet. The first US Sweeping Contractor Locator debuted on the site in 2005. Today, only WSA Members have listings in this highly-used property manager resource.

Access to the World's Largest Collection of Sweeping Contractor Articles

World Sweeping Association Members have access to the world's single largest collection of articles written for sweeping contractors. We currently offer Members-only access to over 250 articles on topics like Safety, Selling Your Services, Forms, Best Practices, Legal Issues and many more. Just take a look at the category list in the right column of the page you are now viewing for a complete rundown of topic areas.

Plus, we offer Members-only access to over 70 hours worth of audio podcasts held with successful contractors, as well as other informative podcasts on a variety of different topics.

What Trial Members Don't Receive...

At any time you can ask to transition your WSA Membership from Trial Member to General Member. We'll then invoice you for $325 for your entire 14-month membership.

To try WSA Membership for a full 60 days, fill out the application at the bottom of this page. We won't take your credit card information and there are no strings attached. If you're still not convinced, try this link that tells you more about the roots of the organization as well as my own 25+ years of experience in the power sweeping industry.

In my many years of involvement with power sweeping contractors, I've seen a number of instances where a contractor's business was compromised – or put out of business entirely – because they did not have the right insurance coverage. We believe this is such an important issue that we're willing to provide a 60-day FREE WSA Membership to any sweeping contractor that has a consultation with our qualified insurance professionals who understand the needs of sweeping and pavement maintenance contractors.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me personally via email to director@worldsweepingpros.org or by calling 360.724.7355 after 9am, Pacific.

Good Sweeping,
