Panelists discussed challenging workplace bias, sponsoring women’s careers and creating a culture where employees feel supported.

At the Roofing Contractors Association of Washington (RCAW) Women in Roofing Day event in Tukwila, Washington, a panel of industry leaders had a conversation focused on recognizing unconscious bias, supporting women’s advancement and addressing mental health concerns throughout the construction industry. Moderated by Jennifer Stone of Tremco, the panel featured Justin Shirley of State Roofing, Donovan Gladstone of GAF, Eric Johnston of PABCO Roofing Products, Cody of Polyglass and Josh Wilson of Stoneway Building Supply.

Panelists began by examining assumptions they had encountered or held about women’s roles in the industry. Several noted that their early experiences in roofing and construction included few women outside office, administrative or sales positions. As more women entered installation, manufacturing and leadership roles, those experiences challenged outdated assumptions about what women could or wanted to do.

A recurring theme was the importance of remaining open-minded and avoiding assumptions about what someone can or cannot do. Rather than focusing on differences, the panelists emphasized evaluating individuals based on their abilities, goals and contributions.

The conversation then shifted to one of the event's most candid topics: the responsibility men have to challenge inappropriate comments, stereotypes and workplace behavior when women are not present. Panelists acknowledged that speaking up can be uncomfortable and, at times, carry professional risk. However, they agreed that creating meaningful change requires action rather than silence.

Several speakers shared personal experiences where they had witnessed inappropriate treatment toward women and questioned whether they had done enough in those moments. Their honesty highlighted a key takeaway from the discussion: allyship is not about having all the answers but being willing to listen, learn and take action when necessary.

The panel also explored the difference between mentorship and sponsorship. While mentors offer advice and guidance, sponsors actively help create opportunities by advocating for others, making introductions and encouraging individuals to pursue leadership roles. The speakers encouraged attendees to use their influence, regardless of title, to help others advance in their careers.

Workplace systems and policies were another focus. The panel discussed how flexibility, understanding family responsibilities and removing unnecessary barriers can create more opportunities for women to succeed. Several speakers noted that simple actions, such as listening to employees' needs and questioning outdated assumptions about productivity, can make a significant difference.

One of the most impactful portions of the discussion centered on mental health. Drawing attention to the construction industry's high rates of suicide, substance abuse and mental health challenges, the panelists shared personal stories about addiction, loss and recovery. The conversation emphasized that mental health affects everyone in the industry and that leaders must create environments where people feel safe asking for help.

The speakers encouraged companies to become more familiar with available resources, normalize conversations about mental health and train leaders to recognize warning signs. Most importantly, they stressed that meaningful support often begins with something simple: asking someone how they are doing and genuinely listening to the answer.

As the session concluded, the panel left attendees with a powerful reminder that leadership is rooted in empathy, curiosity and human connection. Whether supporting women in the workplace, mentoring future leaders or checking in on a struggling colleague, the small actions individuals take every day can have a lasting impact on the people around them and on the future of the roofing industry.

The discussion’s message was ultimately one of shared humanity: remain curious, challenge assumptions, use influence to create opportunities and take time to check on the people around you.

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.

Eagle Roofing Products has partnered with Polyglass® to bring you fire resistance and waterproofing in one single layer. 

As building codes evolve and wildfire risks increase, roofing systems must deliver more than just basic weather protection. Eagle Anchor XFR answers that demand with a high-performance underlayment that combines fire resistance and waterproofing into a single, streamlined solution, designed specifically for modern tile roof systems.  

Engineered for use beneath concrete and clay tiles, it eliminates the need for traditional multi-layer assemblies by delivering both water protection and fire resistance in one layer. This simplifies installation while reducing labor, material usage and overall system weight. 

Manufactured by Polyglass® and brought to you in a partnership with Eagle Roofing Products, the core of the product is a dual-compound construction: a durable plastomeric modified bitumen top layer paired with a self-sealing SBS-modified bottom layer. This design allows the membrane to tightly seal around fasteners, helping prevent water intrusion while maintaining long-term durability.   

What truly sets Eagle Anchor XFR apart is Polyglass's Burn Shield Technology®, which provides advanced resistance to wind-driven embers, one of the leading causes of roof ignition during wildfires. Combined with a fiberglass reinforcement layer, the system achieves a Class A fire rating and meets strict requirements for Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) zones, including CalFire compliance.   

Beyond fire performance, the underlayment is built for real-world jobsite conditions. Its mineral-surfaced top layer improves slip resistance for safer installation, while its robust construction allows for up to 180 days of UV exposure before tile installation, offering flexibility in project scheduling.   

Eagle Anchor XFR also delivers clear economic advantages. By replacing the need for separate underlayment and cap sheet systems, it reduces installation steps and material costs without sacrificing performance. The result is a more efficient, cost-effective roofing system that simplifies compliance with high fire risk zone code requirements.   

Eagle Anchor XFR represents a smarter approach to tile roofing underlayment, combining fire resistance, water protection and installation efficiency into one integrated solution. For contractors and builders working in high-risk or code-driven environments, it offers a reliable way to simplify systems while enhancing overall roof performance.

Learn how drainage, climate, rooftop activity and installation constraints can guide material selection for long-term roof performance.

Low-slope roofing systems must withstand more than routine weather. Standing water, intense sunlight, temperature changes, foot traffic and complicated penetrations can expose weaknesses in both materials and installation. According to this article by, Polyglass U.S.A., Inc., selecting materials that take actual roof conditions into consideration is essential to improving long-term performance.

Drainage is one of the most important considerations. Low slopes and poorly positioned outlets can leave localized ponding after storms. When correcting these conditions is impractical, a waterproof system designed for constant moisture may be necessary. Polyglass identifies torch-applied, cold-adhered and self-adhered modified bitumen systems, along with liquid-applied waterproofing, as potential options. However, self-adhered systems should be limited to roofs with positive drainage.

Material selection should also account for ultraviolet exposure, temperature and rooftop activity. Styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modified bitumen membranes maintain flexibility through temperature changes, while atactic polypropylene (APP) membranes offer resistance to ultraviolet exposure and high temperatures. Reinforced membranes, walkway systems and reflective coatings can provide additional protection in frequently traveled areas.

Details around curbs, drains, skylights, vents and pipe clusters require equal attention. Self-adhered membranes can support flame-free installation where torch use is restricted, while liquid-applied waterproofing systems can address tight corners and transitions. Coatings may also extend the service life of aged roofs, with silicone suited to ponding conditions and acrylic products intended for positive drainage.

A successful system brings each component together, including membranes, adhesives, insulation, surfacing and vapor control. By evaluating the roof’s drainage, climate, code requirements and jobsite conditions before selecting materials, contractors can create assemblies suited to the challenges they will face.

Educación, nuevos productos y más oportunidades para los profesionales hispanos del roofing. 

Este año, el Western Roofing Expo (WRE) organizado por la Western States Roofing Contractors Association (WSRCA) reunió una vez más a profesionales de diferentes partes de la industria para aprender, hacer nuevas conexiones y conocer algunos de los productos y tecnologías que están marcando el futuro del roofing. 

Desde el comienzo del evento se sintió la energía. La Davis Memorial Foundation abrió el WRE presentando a los ganadores de sus becas y para nosotros hubo una razón especial para celebrar. Hannah Ford, miembro de nuestro equipo en The Coffee Shops™, fue una de las ganadoras y no podríamos estar más felices por ella. 

La feria también se sintió como una de las más concurridas de 2026. Mientras muchos contratistas se preparan para una de las temporadas más ocupadas de la industria debido a las tormentas y huracanes, el WRE les dio la oportunidad de conocer nuevos productos, aprender directamente de fabricantes y distribuidores y encontrar herramientas para fortalecer sus empresas. 

Pero hubo algo que particularmente me llamó la atención este año: la presencia de la comunidad latina. 

Cada vez son más los profesionales hispanohablantes que participan en este tipo de eventos, y en WRE 2026 esa presencia no solamente se vio en el piso de exhibición, sino también en las sesiones educativas. Varias capacitaciones fueron ofrecidas completamente en español y abordaron temas importantes para contratistas que buscan crecer sus negocios y equipos. 

Amparo Sancen, de Latinos en Roofing, presentó “De contratar rápido a contratar bien: Cómo construir un equipo ganador de techadores.” Durante la sesión, Amparo enseñó a los contratistas cómo crear un sistema de contratación e incorporación sencillo y replicable que ayude a proteger el negocio y preparar a los empleados para el éxito. 

Otra de las sesiones que destacó fue “Los 3 pilares para escalar tu negocio de techado,” presentada por Moises Morales, de Advosy e influencer de RoofersCoffeeShop® en Español. Moises compartió con los asistentes cómo analizar sus empresas y crear una estructura empresarial que les permita crecer de manera sostenible. Durante el evento tuve la oportunidad de conversar con él para conocer más sobre estos tres pilares y cómo los contratistas pueden implementarlos en sus negocios. 

Monica Vornbrock también compartió estrategias importantes durante su presentación “El costo de la desconexión: Cómo las fallas después del contrato hacen perder confianza y dinero.” Su capacitación se enfocó en identificar y corregir algunas de las fallas más comunes en la experiencia del cliente después de cerrar una venta. 

La educación en español continuó con CertainTeed. Imelda Perez dirigió la sesión “Bueno, mejor, superior,” donde presentó estrategias de ventas para shingles de asfalto y explicó cómo ayudar al cliente a entender las diferencias entre productos de nivel inicial, opciones intermedias que equilibran desempeño y valor y productos premium que ofrecen mayor estética y durabilidad. 

La innovación tampoco faltó en el piso de exhibición. 

CertainTeed presentó sus nuevos Solar Shingles, The Landmark® PWR™ una tecnología que muestra cómo los sistemas de roofing continúan evolucionando y cómo el techo puede convertirse en mucho más que una forma de proteger una estructura. 

Polyglass también estuvo presentando nuevas soluciones, incluyendo productos como: Polystick® PXHD resistentes a altas temperaturas diseñados para ofrecer diferentes opciones a contratistas y otros más. 

Entre nuevas tecnologías, educación, networking y una presencia latina cada vez más fuerte, WRE 2026 demostró por qué sigue siendo uno de los eventos importantes para los profesionales de nuestra industria. 

Y para mí, una de las mejores partes fue ver que el español continúa abriendo su propio espacio dentro de estos eventos. No solamente estamos asistiendo, también estamos enseñando, aprendiendo, compartiendo experiencias y formando parte de las conversaciones que están impulsando el futuro del roofing. 

¿Quieres escuchar más de los fabricantes y contratistas que estuvieron en WRE 2026? Visita nuestro canal de YouTube para ver las entrevistas que realizamos en vivo durante el evento y conocer más de lo que está sucediendo en nuestra industria.
