Metal Construction Association

Renee Ramey, executive director of the Metal Roofing Alliance, receives the 2026 Larry A. Swaney Award from Metal Construction Association (MCA) Chair Lee Ann Slatery at MCA’s 2026 Winter Meeting held in San Antonio, Texas.

January 30, 2026

Renee Ramey, executive director of the Metal Roofing Alliance (MRA), recently received one of the Metal Construction Association’s (MCA) highest honors—the Larry A. Swaney Award—at MCA’s 2026 Winter Meeting held in San Antonio, Texas.

Ramey was honored with the Larry A. Swaney Award for her leadership role in working to grow the residential metal roofing market. In the U.S. alone, market share for metal roofing has risen from 3% at MRA’s inception to now capturing over 17% of the overall residential roofing market. This top honor is bestowed upon an outstanding industry professional for their contributions to the success of the association and the betterment of the metal construction industry.

In her role, Ramey guides MRA’s focus on rigorous quality and uniformity standards and helps drive consumer and homeowner awareness and adoption in the U.S. and Canada by promoting the many benefits of high-quality metal roofing. MRA works together with contractors, manufacturers, roofing coalitions, and industry partners to highlight the advantages of residential metal roofing as a sustainable, long-lasting, and resilient option. Ramey has served as executive director of the MRA since 2017 and has long been recognized for her leadership role in the metal industry.

MCA also recognized long-time MRA member Rob Haddock, CEO and founder of S-5!, by awarding him the Patrick R. Bush Service Award. This award honors the outstanding volunteer contributions of an individual from an MCA member company. This award was created to commemorate Patrick R. Bush, a significant and long-serving member of the MCA board. Haddock’s legendary career as a renowned metal roofing expert, inventor and industry pioneer spans nearly four decades, earning him a long list of honors including an early induction into the Metal Construction Hall of Fame.
