Celebrating Women in the Industry

NWIR chairs Jennifer Stone and Renae Bales share new initiative to celebrate the accomplishments of women in the roofing industry.

After reviewing our monthly newsletter, we are always thrilled with the content and input we receive from the Board of Directors, Members and Sponsors. In this edition we have a new section! It began percolating with several of us over the past few months on how to celebrate women in our industry who are seizing opportunity to forge a new path. The concept of celebrating them and raising our glass to those shaping our future in the industry took hold. The celebration of these women in the newsletter is just the beginning. We will expand this celebration via blogs, social posts and various content that raises our glass to the ladies leading by example.

• Does your company have a promotion we can all raise our glass too?

• Has one of the ladies in your tribe been promoted?

Help us celebrate by sharing that information.

• If you have been wondering who serves on the NWIR Board of Directors; check out these awesome women who give their time in service of the association.

• Have content you want to share with NWIR? Submit it here.

Be sure to reach out to the women featured this month and congratulate them for the hard work and dedication to our trade!As always celebrate when you can, seize the opportunity around us in chaos, give yourself grace (we are in a pandemic for heaven’s sake) and empower the women in YOUR life.  

Be well,

Renae & Jennifer
