Events to attend

National Women in Roofing Day 

2:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. breakout session - A Few Good Guys Become Allies: How Women Can Identify Male Allies and Partner to Impact Change  

Our Director of Technical Services Todd Nathan, will be speaking during events with National Women in Roofing Day along with several other speakers in a breakout session. Inclusion strategies often overlook the idea to include and work with the majority group. However, helping today’s majority to buy-in is essential since they still hold the reins in many cases. Whether we like it or not, men matter when it comes to the advancement of women and under-represented groups. So, let’s talk and work together in bringing this to life! 

JM Live Demo: 10:45 a.m. – 11:45 a.m. 

JM Technical Representative Anna Swiontoniowski, will be demonstrating using mockups of various common roof penetrations, the presentation will go over all the components of a proper flashing system, pros and cons of each detail, required tools and equipment, and installation methods. The live demo will show:  

• Prefabricated pipe boot detail 

• Field-fabricated pipe wrap detail 

• Penetration pocket with pourable sealer 

• Liquid flashing system
