National Women in Roofing Hosts Record Number of Attendees at IRE
On the third-annual NWiR Day at the International Roofing Expo on Feb 2 in Dallas, Texas the women of National Women in Roofing (NWiR), an independent organization advocating for and supporting women in the roofing profession, gathered at the IRE. NWiR Day is an excellent opportunity for women to network, learn, and enjoy a full day together. As the roofing industry changes, the organization aims to sharpen existing skills and connect like-minded professionals.
The medley of break-out groups included hands-on installation demos, mentoring from industry experts, and sessions on business development, communications, roofing technology, and more. NWiR knows awareness to women’s safety in these various industries is vital. One of the most popular events was a safety fashion show. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) historically has not been designed for women, so bringing awareness to this crucial issue was widely well received.
