It’s Time for ARCA Virtualpalooza!

By Karen L. Edwards, RCS Editor.  

Don’t miss the Arizona Roofing Contractors Association’s (ARCA) virtual lineup this week which includes a visit from RoofersCoffeeShop®. 

ARCA explained the concept of their Virtualpalooza in a statement writing, “In an effort to provide educational seminars, that typically are hosted during the annual roofing Expo, we have reached out to our Associate Members to develop a month’s worth of what promises to be informational and impactful virtual training.” 

Attendees can join from any location as long as they have an internet connection. Virtual training combines the best of in-person education with opportunities for collaboration with other attendees and the ability to interact with the instructor.  

RoofersCoffeeShop partner Heidi J. Ellsworth will present a session titled A Digital Community that Builds Your Business on September 24 from 11:00 a.m. – 12 p.m. (PST). Heidi will showcase the power of digital marketing and business services, providing a special tour of the site along with overviews of roofing-specific social media and digital platforms. Participants will learn how to utilize the website to recruit talent, find labor, find jobs, learn from industry influencers, receive industry news daily, and network with roofing contractors from across the U.S. and Canada.
