In honor of Women’s History Month, Beacon announced the launch of its fifth annual North American Female Roofing Professional of the Year campaign. This campaign celebrates women across the U.S. and Canada who are raising the bar in the roofing industry — whether on the job site, in the office, or out in the community.

Beacon invites the public to nominate outstanding female roofing professionals who demonstrate excellence, a commitment to putting people first, making safety a priority, doing the right thing, and building for her customers, coworkers, and community. Whether they work in operations, accounting, sales, ownership, estimating, or other key roles, every woman making an impact in the industry deserves recognition.

Nominations can be submitted through April 18 by visiting the campaign website. In May, five finalists will be announced, and the public will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite finalist. The winner and runners-up will be announced in June, with all five honorees receiving funding for professional growth, such as attending the International Roofing Expo.

“Women in roofing are making their mark on the roofing industry in incredible ways as trailblazers, problem-solvers, and leaders, and we’re proud to celebrate their contributions,” said Elizabeth Fenbert, Beacon’s vice president of sales. “This program goes beyond individual recognition to elevate the women in our industry who are driving innovation and inspiring future generations.”

Last year’s winner, Brooke Laizure, owner of Whirlwind Roofing & Construction in Bixby, Okla., was recognized as the 2024 North American Female Roofing Professional of the Year for her exceptional work ethic and commitment to empowering other women.

“It has been an incredible honor to be recognized among so many hardworking and talented women in the roofing industry,” said Laizure. “Roofing has allowed me to support my community and work alongside incredible women who are making a difference every day. I’m grateful to Beacon for recognizing the impact of women in our industry and supporting their continued growth and success.”

Through April 18, 2025, the public can nominate a female roofing professional by visiting the campaign website or emailing FemaleRoofingContest@becn.com. Nominations should include the nominee’s name, role, accomplishments, and a brief biography, along with a photo.
