Una comunidad especial diseñada para mujeres hispanas en la industria del techado.
¡Bienvenidas al Consejo Hispano de NWIR Conexion Hispana! Aquí celebramos la fuerza, la resiliencia y el corazón que definen a las mujeres hispanas en la industria del techado. Nuestro consejo es más que una red: es una familia. Honramos las ricas tradiciones de conexión, apoyo y trabajo arduo que forman parte de nuestra cultura, y llevamos esos mismos valores a cada rincón de nuestra asociación. Ya sea que estés en un techo, en una oficina o dirigiendo tu propio negocio, aquí encontrarás hermanas que entienden tu camino, te levantan y celebran tus logros. Juntas estamos construyendo techos — y elevándonos unas a otras — con orgullo, pasión y propósito.
Does your committee have an event, virtual event, webinar planned? Or a new program or initiative that you want to share with NWIR members or the broader roofing industry? Let us know!
We have a process outlined for getting this information out:
Start here for Step 1 – what do you need to create and identify before advertising your WEPI ?
Fill out this short Event Notification Form to notify the office and executive committee of your upcoming webinar or event (and request a Zoom link if applicable).
Then move onto Step 2 – for your WEPI, who does what and how you get it done! The office doesn’t create any marketing content – everything is cut and pasted from the resources that your committee creates.
Please add the webinar or event to the calendar (the office doesn’t do this) as soon as you have a title and date so that another event doesn’t get scheduled too closely. Use the CommUnity Starting Point
Everything else is spelled out in Steps 1 and 2, which are linked above.
Awards
A great leader can easily recognize another great leader. You are invited to nominate individuals for one of these prestigiousawards. NWIR is looking for industry contributors who raise up others in the industry and are respected by their peers.
If you have worked with a dedicated professional who exhibits such traits, show them that they’re admired by nominating them. You can submit more than one nominee, so tell us why your nominee(s) should be considered for either of these prestigious awards!
