The Western States Roofing Contractors Association Board of Directors has decided to move the Western Roofing Expo to October 2021.

The donations will go toward supporting the roofing industry through various means, such as scholarships, education, charitable programs and research.

Howard was the owner of Commercial Roofers Inc. in Las Vegas and served on multiple roofing and contractor associations.

Students are encouraged to apply for the chance to receive a $5,000 scholarship from the Davis Memorial Foundation for the 2021 academic year.

The foundation trustees unanimously agreed to honor a former WSRCA president and foundation chairman of the trustees who passed earlier this year.

The Davis Memorial Foundation gives priority to students who want to attend a trade school, or get a college or university degree that relates to the construction industry.

Public speakers and those with products for roofing contractors can submit a request to become a presenter at the WSRCA's 2021 Western Roofing Expo.

Viera began his role as executive director for the WSRCA on Aug. 1. He has 19 years of knowledge and experience with the WSRCA, where he recently served as the director of expo and events.

One of the roofing industry's first-ever virtual expos, held by the Western States Roofing Contractors Association, had more than 700 registered attendees roam its virtual show floor.

Robert “Bob” L. Porter was the Western States Roofing Contractors Association’s (WSRCA) 19th president and was inducted into the WSRCA Hall of Fame in 2007.
