“The Bennett Award acknowledges the venerable Bennett Judson and her inspiring 40-year career in the roofing industry,” stated Dave Lawlor, the 2021/22 Roofing Alliance president. “Bennett is an exemplary team player who is also organized, passionate, tireless, professional, humble and positive. Anyone who has had the pleasure to work with or alongside her knows this recognition is well deserved.”
