Brad Mayhew’s professional career has been devoted to providing interpreting environmental regulations through training presentation, manual development, providing consulting services to the regulated community, public speaking at the national level, and publications.
He has designed and presented seminars on new regulations attended by industry leaders in the public and private sector throughout the United States. As a member of the Environmental Awareness Council of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment Steering Committee he planned and led some of the topical meetings attended by state environmental leaders from all sectors.
He has also successfully created and lead forums where business and governmental leaders gathered to create productive responses to problems and opportunities outside the environmental arena.

He also participated in rail planning projects involving public forums and consensus building.

NARRATIVE
6/1985 to Present
President and CEO, Mayhew Environmental Training Present Associates, Inc.
(Incorporated January, 1987) Lawrence, Kansas
Under Mr. Mayhew’s leadership, META has become one of the top five environmental training organizations in the country in each of the following categories: dollar volume; national and state accreditations; and geographic service area. META is also recognized as a leading quality-oriented environmental consultant and laboratory on a regional level. META has also successfully ventured into the area of “Applied Technology,” the application of new and new combinations of existing and new technologies to environmental, process and ecological challenges.
META grew from a regional training organization in its first year of incorporation grossing about $120,000 to a multifaceted national environmental trainer, consultant, and laboratory grossing over $1.3 million in its third year of operation. This growth was accomplished with no capital infusion.
META has trained in 35 states, 3 territories, Japan, Germany, Italy, the Azores, Canada, Mexico, Greenland, and the United Kingdom. It has offered training in Polish, Spanish, Japanese, German, Italian, Korean, and Czech.
As President and Founder of META, Mr. Mayhew maintains technical oversight of all projects.
