National Women in Roofing [NWiR] has introduced the groundbreaking REAL Roofing program — a comprehensive initiative focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion [DEI] within the roofing industry. NWiR spearheaded the creation of REAL Roofing in response to the pressing need for transformative education. The program has not only earned the industry's acclaim but also secured approval for continuing education credits.
With a commitment to inclusivity, the program's inception was motivated by the desire to empower small and medium-sized contractors, ensuring that DEI education remains accessible to all. According to a release, NWiR says it was envisioned that the program would "offer high value at a low cost while gathering insights from diverse perspectives across the roofing sector."
