Women across the PNW came together for a powerful day of connection, education and progress in roofing.

It’s back! For the second time, the Roofing Contractors Association of Washington (RCAW) hosted the Pacific Northwest Regional Women in Roofing Day in conjunction with the Seattle National Women in Roofing (NWIR) council on October 16, 2026. Around 100 professionals gathered at the Interurban Hotel in Tukwila, Washington for a day of networking, education and connection. The morning started off with Jennifer Stone from Tremco and Katie Bodiford, NWIR executive director, sharing the journey and genesis of NWIR 10 years ago. It started with a group of women who shared similar desires for the industry and experienced similar frustrations being in a male-populated industry. “Where are the women?”
was one of the main questions at many industry events.

In response to the question, they decided to act and start a local council in the Midwest to bring women in the industry together. Those women were Heidi J. Ellsworth, Sharri Carlozzi, Jennifer Ford-Smith and Jennifer Stone. After the event, Jennifer Stone challenged the group, saying, “This needs to be bigger, this needs to be national.” And that’s exactly what happened. Now there are 63 councils across the U.S. and there are international members as well. "Ten years ago, 0.5% of the industry was women and now we are at 5% of women in roofing," Katie shared. It’s great growth, but there’s more to be done!

Ten years ago, the goals set forth by this group were:

• Mentorship and community for women
• Education for women where they felt comfortable being educated and then be leaders in education
• To recruit more women to the industry
• Provide a safe and comfortable space for women to network

And those pillars remain today. As Jennifer stated, “Everything comes from the lens of, ‘Does this empower women?’”

After the opening session, attendees had the opportunity to attend two of the three breakout sessions offered. PABCO Roofing Products presented “Understanding Asphalt Shingles,” Stop Claims presented “Top 5 L&I Issues” and ABC Supply presented “Building Your Business.” Between sessions, attendees had the opportunity to network, take photos in the photo booth and meet with industry partners at their tables to learn about what’s new with VELUX, Anything Insurance, RCAW, NWIR, PABCO and more.

During lunch, which was sponsored by Owens Corning, we had the opportunity to network and learn more about the people at our tables. I happened to be sitting next to the afternoon keynote, Katee Williams, the owner of Steve Garlock Equipment. She shared her journey in the roofing industry, an industry that her mother worked in and was a trailblazer for Katee and her career in roofing.

Katee encouraged attendees to learn, adapt and work their way up, reminding them that they don’t have to know everything in one day. “Confidence often comes after you take the step, not before,” she shared. She also reflected on the distinction between being a strong employee and becoming a strong leader, discussing the challenges of navigating the roofing industry, leading a company and raising a family. Her story came full circle with her mother in attendance and her daughter now working alongside her at Steve Garlock Equipment — bringing three generations of women in roofing together in the room.

She also shared lessons learned throughout her career with attendees, saying:

• Learn everything you can
• No role is too small
• Relationships and partnerships will follow you for decades
• Don’t lose yourself as you build your career. Take care of your health and your family.
• Find mentors and build relationships with other people
• There’s room for everyone at the table
• A career is built over decades, not in one perfect year

The final two sessions of the day were a women’s panel and men’s panel. The women’s panel was moderated by Allison Woslager of Integrity PNW. The discussion brought together Jennifer Stone of Tremco, Katie Bodiford of NWIR, Cheri Groves of Axis Roofing, Kimberly Santiago-Vega of GAF and Claudia Carachure of CF Roof and Gutter. Panelists discussed navigating bias, building confidence and advancing women’s careers through education, networking, mentorship and sponsorship. They also explored employee retention, workplace culture, mental health and work-life balance, emphasizing the importance of supportive leadership, clear growth opportunities and personal well-being.

The men’s panel was moderated by Jennifer and featured Justin Shirley of State Roofing, Donovan Gladstone of GAF, Eric Johnston of PABCO Roofing Products, Colin Parks of Polyglass and Josh Wilson of Stoneway Building Supply. The panel focused on challenging workplace bias, advocating for women’s career growth and creating more inclusive opportunities across the roofing industry. Panelists also emphasized personal accountability, meaningful allyship and the importance of open conversations and genuine support around mental health.

We closed the day with a group photo, raffle prizes and thank you’s. Overall, it was a great day of connection and learning with like-minded professionals in the Pacific Northwest. Being surrounded by others who understand the challenges and possibilities of a career in roofing was a powerful reminder that days like this matter. From exploring NWIR’s origins to learning through breakout sessions, inspiring keynotes and candid panel discussions, the day reinforced how education and connection can help build a stronger future for women in roofing.

An upcoming NWIR webinar helps professionals build the confidence to advocate for promotions, raises and career advancement.

As the year comes to a close, 'tis the season of performance reviews. For many, these can be one of the most stressful meetings on the calendar each year. But what is often forgotten is that performance reviews can also be the most powerful asset – if you advocate for yourself well!

What does self-advocacy look like in the workplace? It's a skill that must be learned, and like learning anything new, it is uncomfortable the first time you do it. But it is often the key to getting recognized for your hard work and contributions. And it’s not a skill you have to learn alone.

On Monday, November 9, 2026, the National Women in Roofing (NWIR)'s DEI Committee is hosting a webinar, “Make Your Value Visible: Preparing for Your Performance Reviews and Financial Equity,” all about how to confidently advocate for yourself. This session, which runs from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. PT, will be hosted by Erin Hoffman and Lynn Picone.

Erin is a financial advisor at Certified Financial Services, LLC (CFS). In this role, Erin helps “educate and empower her clients on how to gain an understanding of basic financial concepts, how to get financially organized and provide them with the knowledge to make great decisions, so they have the courage and understanding to move forward and reach their goals.” She also has experience mentoring or the Seton Hall University Women in Business Program. In her words, she is “passionate about giving back to professional women, advancing women’s leadership, advocacy and mentorship in business and shattering glass ceilings everywhere.”

As for Lynn, she’s a national accounts manager at GAF and the past chair of NWIR (2020-2022). She is dedicated to serving the roofing industry and showing women that they have a place in this community. As she sums up, “In addition to [receiving the Dario Miranda Memorial Award which is a distinctive recognition within the company named for a true ally of women in the industry], I have been recognized as a multi-year nominee for the NWIR Veteran Award, by ARMA for my years of service, a GAF Extra Mile Award winner and I even earned a patent during my years in new product development. I can't share enough how rewarding this industry can be for women.”

The virtual event hosted by these two incredible women promises to be an “an empowering conversation about how to confidently navigate discussions around promotions, raises and career advancement.” Whether you’re hoping for a promotion, negotiating pay or looking at advance your career, this webinar will help.

Allison Woslager talks about how contractors can plant marketing “seeds” in order to sow sales success.

In today’s world of GPTs and other new technologies, it can be hard to figure out what the best way to reach customers is. Luckily, there are experts like Allison Woslager and the team at Integrity Marketing Group whose entire focus is to help contactors do that! Recently, we hosted Allison on an episode of Roofing Road Trips® to learn more about how contractors can navigate marketing today.

When we asked Allison if marketing has changed in the last few years, she immediately pointed to the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), saying, “Things are changing a lot.

Today, consumers are asking a lot more conversational questions of search engines and instead of going onto five different roofing contractors' websites, they're now going to AI programs.” And while those AI programs do still look at those five contractors’ websites (like the homeowners used to do), they also look for third-party sources. Allison explained, “The AI is really trying to recommend companies that it believes are trustworthy based on the information that it's finding across the internet. So not just on your own website, but also what other people and other sites say about you.”

In light of this, Allison had five recommendations for contractors looking to boost their marketing efforts:

1. Check your website health: look at the technological health of your website, meaning think about what it is designed to do and whether it is doing that. Consider auditing for things like load times and broken links.
2. Keep your content focused: make sure the content on your website, think blog posts or YouTube videos, are genuinely helpful, answer common consumer questions and showcase your expertise and authority.
3. Generate reviews consistently: reviews are still a powerful tool. When you generate consistent, positive reviews, not only will homeowners searching see it, but AI programs will also pick up on it and feed it back to their users.
4. Build quality backlinks: get your message and presence out across the internet by building quality backlinks on other trusted sites. Think about your local organization, your manufacturer or your friends here at RoofersCoffeeShop®.
5. Stay consistent: double-check that your business information (such as address, name, phone number) is consistent across all social media, websites and mentions of your company. Inconsistency here can be read as unreliability by AIs.

All of this can be summed up into one term – planting seeds. Allison explained, “At Integrity we call this planting seeds. Think about every single article, every review, every backlink and every single mention online as a seed. It might not give you immediate results, but eventually those seeds are going to produce fruit, in this case building the case that you are a subject matter expert that people should trust.”

NWIR leadership invites members to request topics for on-going education. 

It’s hard to believe I’ve already been at Maven for more than four months. I knew moving from distribution to the contractor side of the business would come with a learning curve, but I don’t think I realized just how much I would learn. And I love it! 

I’ve spent most of my career in the roofing industry, so I certainly didn’t come into this knowing nothing. But being on this side of the business has given me a completely different perspective. I’m seeing firsthand what goes into a job from the time the customer signs a contract until the final cleanup, and I’m learning something new almost every day. There have definitely been times over the last four months when I’ve thought, “How did I not know this?” 

It’s also made me realize how easy it is to get comfortable with what we know. We become really good at our jobs, we know our part of the business, and sometimes we don’t realize how much there is to learn about what happens on the other side. That’s had me thinking a lot about education within NWIR. 

We have members at completely different points in their careers and working in very different parts of the roofing industry. What would actually help you? I don’t want to assume I know the answer. What do you want to learn? Is there something about the roofing industry you’ve always wanted to understand better? Is there something that would make you better at your job or help you get to wherever you want to go next? Maybe there’s something you deal with every day at work and wish you understood better. 

I want to hear it. 

As we’re thinking about education for NWIR and what we can offer our members, your answers matter. We want to create opportunities that are worth your time and give you something you can actually use when you go back to work. So send me a message. Tell me what you want to learn, even if you think it’s something no one else will ask for. Chances are, you’re probably not the only one. Four months into this new adventure, I’ve realized I still have A LOT to learn, and I’m pretty excited about that. 

Keep connecting… with purpose.

Women in roofing can apply to attend the 2027 NWIR Days.  

For roofing contractors, developing future leaders is one of the best investments a company can make. Training programs, industry events and networking opportunities often help employees gain new perspectives and skills that directly benefit the business. The challenge, however, is that conference attendance can be expensive and difficult to prioritize in a busy operation.

That is exactly why the National Women in Roofing (NWIR) NEWS (Network of Educating Women Scholarship) program continues to be such a valuable opportunity for the industry. Designed specifically for women working for roofing contractors who have never attended NWIR Days before, the scholarship helps remove barriers to professional development while encouraging more participation in the roofing community.

More than a conference opportunity

NWIR Days has become one of the roofing industry's premier events for leadership development, education and networking. The 2027 event will take place February 28 through March 1 in Nashville, Tennessee, bringing together roofing professionals from across the country to learn, connect and share experiences.

For many women working at roofing contracting companies, attending an industry event for the first time can be career changing. Exposure to new ideas, conversations with industry leaders and connections with peers often leads to greater confidence, improved leadership skills and a stronger understanding of the business side of roofing. Those benefits frequently extend far beyond the individual attendee, creating value for the contractor that supports their growth and development.

The NEWS Scholarship was specifically created to encourage those first-time experiences. Now celebrating its tenth year, the program focuses on helping contractor employees access professional development opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach.

What the scholarship covers

One of the most attractive features of the NEWS Scholarship is the financial support it provides. Thanks to sponsor support, NWIR will award two scholarships for 2027. Each recipient receives:

• Complimentary registration to NWIR Days
• Hotel accommodations up to $1,500
• Round-trip airfare up to $800
• Participation in a breakout session planning call with the NWIR Mentorship Committee

Recipients and their employers are responsible for meals, ground transportation and incidental expenses, but the scholarship significantly reduces the overall cost of attending the event.

For roofing companies looking to invest in employee development without absorbing the full cost of travel and registration, the program offers a practical solution.

Why contractors should pay attention

The roofing industry continues to face workforce challenges, making employee engagement and retention more important than ever. Providing team members with opportunities to learn, grow and connect with industry peers demonstrates a commitment to their professional future.

Programs like the NEWS Scholarship align with broader efforts to attract, develop and retain talented professionals within roofing. By encouraging participation in industry organizations and educational events, contractors can help create pathways for future leaders while strengthening the industry as a whole.

Who is eligible?

Applicants must be current NWIR members and women working for or employed by a roofing contractor. Participants must also agree to attend NWIR Days educational sessions and events, provide feedback on their experience and, if they are employees rather than owners, obtain approval from their employer to attend.

The application deadline is October 31, 2026. For contractors with team members who have the potential to become future leaders within the company, this scholarship represents a unique opportunity to invest in their development while expanding their involvement in the roofing community.

As the roofing industry continues to evolve, opportunities like the NEWS Scholarship help ensure that talented professionals gain the knowledge, connections and confidence needed to shape its future. For contractors looking to grow their teams from within, encouraging an employee to apply could be a step that benefits both their career and the company for years to come.

From connection to leadership, the roundtable will explore the NWIR story and the future of women in roofing. 

Raise the Roof has become a leading voice for women in the U.K. roofing industry, bringing together professionals from across the sector to support career development, foster connections and champion greater diversity and inclusion. Through networking, education and advocacy, the organisation is helping create more opportunities for women while building a stronger future for roofing. That mission makes it a natural fit for a special roundtable discussion featuring Heidi J. Ellsworth, president and CEO of The Coffee Shops™ and a founding member and first chair of National Women in Roofing (NWIR). During the discussion, Heidi will share the story of NWIR's founding, the growth of the organisation and the work it continues to do today to recruit, mentor, educate and connect women across the roofing industry. 

As a founding member and the first chair of NWIR, Heidi has had a front-row seat to one of the most significant movements in modern roofing. What began as a small group of women looking for ways to connect and support one another has grown into an organisation that has helped transform opportunities for women across the industry. Today, NWIR continues to focus on its four pillars of recruitment, mentoring, networking and education while helping women advance into leadership positions throughout roofing. 

More than a presentation, the event will be an interactive conversation with the women of Raise the Roof as they discuss and visualise the future growth of their organisation. During the discussion, Heidi will share the story of NWIR's founding, the growth of the organisation and the work it continues to do today to recruit, mentor, educate and connect women across the roofing industry. By exploring both the successes and challenges experienced during NWIR's evolution, participants will have the opportunity to exchange ideas, share experiences and consider how those lessons might help shape Raise the Roof's next chapter. 

As a founding member and the first chair of NWIR, Heidi has had a front-row seat to one of the most significant movements in modern roofing. What began as a small group of women looking for ways to connect and support one another has grown into an organisation that has helped transform opportunities for women across the industry. Today, NWIR continues to focus on its four pillars of recruitment, mentoring, networking and education while helping women advance into leadership positions throughout roofing. 

A key theme of the discussion will be empowerment. Heidi believes that supporting women in roofing is not simply about creating opportunities for individual success. It is about helping women build confidence, develop leadership skillsand create opportunities for others. When women are empowered through education, mentoring and networking, entire companies and communities benefit. 

The discussion will also explore the remarkable growth of women in roofing. From company owners and executives to association leaders and entrepreneurs, more women are helping shape the future of the industry. Heidi will share her firsthand perspective on this transformation and discuss how organisations such as NWIR and Raise the Roof play an important role in creating pathways for future leaders. 

For Heidi, one of the most exciting aspects of the roundtable is the opportunity to connect with the women who have built and continue to build something special in the U.K. Through Raise the Roof, they have created a growing community dedicated to supporting, connecting and advancing women throughout the roofing industry. Heidi sees many of the same qualities that helped launch NWIR: vision, passion, collaboration and a commitment to helping others succeed. Together, participants will explore how strong communities, meaningful connections and intentional leadership can create lasting change for generations to come. 

“Connection creates change,” Heidi said. “When women come together to share experiences, support one another and invest in future leaders, they create opportunities that last for generations. That has been the story of NWIR, and it is exciting to see that same spirit growing through Raise the Roof.” 

As the roofing industry continues to evolve, organisations such as Raise the Roof and NWIR are demonstrating the value of community, mentorship and leadership. Through conversations like this roundtable, women across the globe are helping shape a stronger and more inclusive future for roofing.

Capacitación práctica, tecnología emergente y más oportunidades para establecer conexiones ofrecerán a los asistentes una mirada a lo que viene para la industria de la construcción con metal. 

METALCON se prepara para celebrar su 35.º aniversario con un evento enfocado tanto en reconocer los cimientos de la industria como en explorar hacia dónde se dirige la construcción con metal. En este episodio de MetalCast™, la conductora Karen Edwards conversó con Judy Geller, vicepresidenta de trade shows de PSMJ Resources y show director de METALCON, sobre lo que los asistentes pueden esperar del 7 al 9 de octubre de 2026 en el Orange County Convention Center de Orlando, Florida. 

Judy explicó el enfoque de este año y señaló, “Es nuestro 35.º aniversario, lo cual es un hito muy emocionante. Pero este no es un evento retrospectivo”. Este enfoque hacia el futuro estará presente en todo el piso de exhibición, las sesiones educativas y las oportunidades para establecer conexiones. 

Entre las nuevas incorporaciones se encuentra Forge, una versión ampliada del programa Metal and Mimosas para mujeres en la construcción con metal. El programa de medio día se llevará a cabo el martes 6 de octubre y contará con speakers, panelistas y oportunidades para establecer conexiones, seguido de una recepción patrocinada por National Women in Roofing (NWIR). Al explicar por qué se amplió el programa, Judy dijo, “Ya se estaba quedando pequeño. Necesitábamos darle más espacio y había mucha demanda”. 

La capacitación seguirá siendo uno de los principales enfoques, con más de 35 sesiones programadas en el piso de exhibición, junto con aproximadamente 263 expositores. Un nuevo Contractor Business Success Center se enfocará en ayudar a los contratistas a incorporar el metal a sus negocios y hacer crecer sus operaciones, mientras que Training Zone y Metal Mastery Clinics ofrecerán más oportunidades de aprendizaje. 

La tecnología también ocupará un lugar central a medida que la automatización, la inteligencia artificial y los flujos de trabajo digitales se convierten en herramientas cada vez más prácticas para los contratistas. Al reflexionar sobre este cambio, Judy dijo, “Creo que los asistentes verán en el piso de exhibición y en las sesiones educativas cómo la tecnología realmente ha evolucionado, pasando de la teoría a la automatización práctica, la inteligencia artificial y los flujos de trabajo digitales”. 

Otros aspectos destacados incluyen una activación de U.S. Steel para celebrar su 125.º aniversario, la construcción en vivo de una tiny house de 480 pies cuadrados por parte de FrameCat y sus socios, presentaciones principales de Jim Abbott y Kermit Baker, speed networking, una recepción para contratistas, un happy hour para futuros líderes y el reconocimiento del grupo inaugural 40 Under 40.

Si planeas asistir, recuerda registrarte con anticipación y aprovechar los recursos y cobertura que compartiremos a través de MetalCoffeeShop En Español. 

Finalmente, septiembre también marca el inicio de una de las celebraciones más significativas para nuestra comunidad: el Mes de la Herencia Hispana. Más allá de reconocer la cultura, las tradiciones y las contribuciones de los profesionales latinos, este momento nos invita a destacar el liderazgo, la perseverancia y el impacto que la comunidad hispanohablante tiene en la industria del techado.  

Ha sido un gran comienzo para septiembre y aún queda mucho por compartir. Seguiremos llevando hasta ustedes las historias, iniciativas y eventos que continúan fortaleciendo el futuro de nuestra industria.
