Hear From the Presidents!

IRE Hear from the Presidents
July 28, 2021 at 12:00 p.m.

By Lauren White, RCS Editor. 

Join RCA presidents as they discuss Regional Strategies for Post-COVID Success at IRE 2021. 

As we all continue to navigate the Coronavirus, many are wondering what a post-COVID world will look like and how to maintain success.  On August 10 at 7:45 a.m., Roofing Contractor Association (RCA) presidents will discuss Regional Strategies for Post-COVID Success at the International Roofing Expo (IRE).  This is a panel you won’t want to miss!  Our very own Heidi J. Ellsworth will be moderating and will be joined by Greta Bajrami, Kelly Lea and Leo Ibarra. 

Greta Bajrami, the CEO and founder of Golden Group Roofing in Massachusetts, migrated to the U.S. from Tirana, Albania when she was nine.  Her fierce leadership and female representation in the industry has gained her the respect and following of many entrepreneurs that are up and coming in the industry.  Greta is also the treasurer for the North East Roofing Contractors Association (NERCA).  

Starting at the age of 13, Kelly Lea worked as a laborer at his father’s company Leaway Roofing, putting himself through college.  He earned a BS in Construction Engineering Technology and is now the general manager of Texas Roof Management.  Kelly has been on the board for the Midwest Roofing Contractors Association (MRCA) for over ten years and is looking forward to moving into the role of president in November. 

In 1988, Leo Ibarra started his roofing career at Saddleback Roofing.  And in 1991 he began working as an apprentice for Blue’s Roofing Company, a commercial roofing contractor in Milpitas, California.  He worked his way up to journeyman, foreman, project manager and is currently the vice president.  Leo is actively involved in the industry, serving as the president for Western States Roofing Contractors Association (WSRCA) and is on the board of directors for Associated Roofing Contractors of the Bay Area Counties, Inc. 

During the panel, RCA presidents will discuss: 

  • Post-COVID world 

  • Material shortages 

  • Regulations and advocacy 

  • Safety  

  • Association involvement  

Register for the IRE today and make sure to attend Regional Strategies for Post-COVID Success.
