I recently had the pleasure of attending the 100th annual convention of the Florida Roofing and Sheet Metal Contractors Association (FRSA). I spent my first 20 years in the roofing industry in the Sunshine State, and that included attending many FRSA conventions starting in 1974.
FRSA does a remarkable job for its members, particularly in the areas of codes and licensing and insurance regulations. It is hardly fair, however, to not mention the dozens of other services FRSA brings (Credit Union, Self-Insurers Fund, educational programs, etc.), but it would take more words than I have here to do it justice. If you want to learn more, head over to the FRSA website for the rest of the story.
