I believe the best contractors use a portion of the winter downtime to catch up on new services and products and engage in continuing education for themselves and their teams. There are many options when it comes to educating yourself, including right here in the pages of Roofing Contractor and online at www.roofingcontractor.com. Manufacturers, suppliers, and industry associations offer a continuous array of training services; in print, online and live.
However, the largest of all of the live events that occur throughout the course of the year is the International Roofing Expo (IRE), held in conjunction with the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) annual convention. If you haven’t already made plans to attend this year’s event, you need to get busy and make plans today.
