NAPSA

NAPSA Logo

NAPSA is the American sweeping industry's membership organization. It is the outgrowth of the National Contract Sweepers Institute, later called Contract Sweepers Institute. The association was removed from the APWA umbrella in 2001, a move that was beneficial for membership.

Then, on December 1, 2008, NAPSA management was turned over to New Jersey-based, Association Headquarters, Inc. To reach the NAPSA website, click here or on the NAPSA logo, above.

For more information about membership, contact Nancy Terry, Association Executive, either via email or by calling 856-380-6845.

Below are some articles and information about the organization. You will also find a host of information about the organization at the NAPSA website, powersweeping.org.
