2017-2018 Sponsorship Opportunities

National Women in Roofing has experienced a year of tremendous growth in 2017, much in thanks to the dedicated women in our organization backed by the support and motivation from our 28 Founding Sponsors. It is with great pride that we close the 3rd quarter with our 2017 NWIR Founding Sponsor Progress Report and vision for the future.

As an organization of volunteers whose hands-on approach gives every woman and man involved a vested interest in its creation and celebrations, their support of our mission and our four (4) pillars: Networking, Mentoring, Recruitment and Education has been instrumental in establishing our “hand-print” throughout our industry and beyond.

While this report represents our progress in membership, council development, mentoring, industry event support and communication, our vision for exciting new programs and services on a local, regional and national basis will be realized in the coming year. This vision and your place in it as a partner with NWIR will be presented later in this report.

With great thanks and appreciation,

Membership Committee ChairAlison LaValley, NRCASince our membership launch at the June 2016, Western States Roofing Contractors Association (WSRCA) regional and Florida Roofing and Sheet Metal Contractors Association (FRSA) conference, NWIR membership continues to grow. At present time, NWIR membership is comprised of 615 female and male members. 524 are Founding Members (memberships established between June 11, 2016 – May 31, 2017) and 91 New NWIR members as of June 1, 2017

Membership fees are yearly with a simple price of $60 per person. We celebrate the fact that we have both women and men as members. A success of this year is the distribution of membership welcome kits that have been developed to provide each of the NWIR members with either founding member specific pin or NWIR pin, brochure, palm cards to share, NWIR Pen and membership welcome letter. Member renewal process has now begun for the 2017-2018 fiscal year.
