WASHINGTON, D.C. — More than 400 roofing contractors and industry stakeholders from across the United States met with members of congress and legislative staff last week to relay their concerns as part of the first-ever Roofing Day.
Organized by the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA), the event drew contractors from 47 states in an unprecedented showing of political action for the industry. Attendees were separated into state delegations to effectively coordinate meetings with their elected officials in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. In all, delegates visited more than 350 individual House members and 94 Senate offices in what’s being called the largest advocacy event dedicated solely to the roofing industry.
