Female roofing pro of the year returns at Beacon
Beacon is launching its third annual North American Female Roofing Professional of Year campaign.
The program recognizes the impact of women in roofing across the United States and Canada and was announced in conjunction with National Women’s Day.
The roofing and building products distributor is encouraging nominations for female roofing pros who demonstrate excellence, a commitment to putting people first, making every day safer, doing the right thing, and building for her customers, her co-workers, and her community.
The nomination process is open now through April 10 by visiting the campaign website, with five finalists will be announced in May. Members of the public will then have an opportunity to vote for their favorite finalists.
Beacon will announce the winner and runners-up in June. The five winners will receive prize money to support further professional development such as attending the International Roofing Expo.
“Women are an essential part of the roofing industry, and continue to deliver excellent customer service, innovation and dedication to core values in the varied roles they serve in the roofing industry,” said Christine Reddy, Beacon EVP and general counsel. “Beacon recognizes the importance of women in our industry, and this campaign was created to spotlight their significant contributions. We hope that you take a moment to nominate a woman in roofing, so that we can share their inspiring stories of values-based leadership.”
Last year’s winner, Michelle Mulder, is the owner of Nailed It Roofing in North Bay, Ontario, Canada. Her passion for roofing inspired her to start Nailed It Roofing in 2015, which has been one of the top roofing companies in North Bay for the past seven years.
“I was thrilled to be recognized by Beacon, my local community and my colleagues with this award,” said Mulder. “I applaud Beacon for empowering women in the roofing industry. I hope my story and the others that Beacon has shared inspire others to pursue a position in the industry.”
Based in Herndon, Va., Beacon operates over 480 branches throughout the United States and 6 provinces in Canada.
