Summer Fun For Women in Roofing

By Evelyn Witterholt. 

Check out these exciting summer events that National Women in Roofing councils are hosting. 

Women in roofing rejoice! This summer, National Women in Roofing (NWiR) has a whole slate of fun events for you to attend. Whether you are a NWiR member looking for a chance to network with other members or you are looking for a way to give back to your community, there are many opportunities to do so this summer.  

Here are just a few things NWiR has planned for this summer: 

Yoga at Edgewater Park 

The Cleveland council of NWiR will be hosting a free yoga session at Edgewater park on July 11 at 6 p.m. ET. NWiR members can come alone or with a friend, family member or coworker, so long as they bring a yoga mat or towel. Attendees are also encouraged to bring feminine products or cash donations for WomenSafe, a women’s shelter in Northeast Ohio.  

NWiR at FRSA 

If you are attending this year’s Florida Roofing and Sheet Metal Contractors Association (FRSA) Expo, we highly encourage you to check out NWiR’s Mentorship and Networking Session on July 12 at 3:30 p.m. ET There, you can meet and network with other members to discuss how you can find and follow the right career pathway for you. 

School supply drive 

On July 22 from 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. CT, the Dallas Fort Worth council will be hosting a school supply drive. They are partnering with the Genesis Women’s Shelter to fill backpacks with school supplies for those in need. The event will be hosted at the National Roofing Partners' (NRP) offices in Coppell, Texas. 

Residential roofing training 

Members of the East Tennessee council who are looking for a training opportunity, you are in luck! On August 9 from 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. MT, this council will be hosting a hands-on residential roofing training with Owens Corning.
