It’s heartwarming to watch someone realize the praises an award presenter is sharing are actually about them. Roofing Contractor captured one such moment during the Midwest Roofing Contractors Association’s 2023 Conference & Expo.

The MRCA event, held Oct. 18-20 in Omaha, Neb., served as the venue for presenting annual awards to its members, including the James Q. McCawley Award. The award is the MRCA’s highest honor and has been given annually since 1969 to a roofing professional that demonstrates outstanding service to the industry over a long period of time.
