National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA)
ROOFING DAY: March 23 - 24, 2021
Join fellow roofing industry professionals in Washington, D.C., as we bring our priorities to Capitol Hill! It is crucial members of Congress see you and hear about the critical issues facing your company and the roofing industry. Don't miss this opportunity to make a difference for your business and our industry!
Join the Industry in working together—and speaking—with one voice in support of the following key roofing industry issues:
- Increased funding for career and technical education to address workforce shortages
- Inclusion of a strong buildings component in federal infrastructure legislation
- Immigration reform that meets the roofing industry’s current and future workforce needs
If you are a contractor, manufacturer, distributor or roofing industry professional with different business locations, consider registering and sending an employee(s) from each location. The more attendees, the greater the reach Roofing Day 2021 will have, and the roofing industry will increase its imprint on Capitol Hill.

There currently are five packages available for purchase:

NRCA Pro-Certification
It’s now more convenient than ever for experienced workers to become NRCA ProCertified
Rather than passing an online exam for each type of roof system, installer applicants now only need to pass NRCA’s low-slope or steep-slope online knowledge exam, which can be taken anywhere, any time, as many times as needed.
Installers can even take the online exam before they apply for NRCA ProCertification to measure their readiness. Once installers pass the online exam, they are eligible to take the hands-on performance exam.
NRCA provides the resources installers need to help them on their paths to NRCA ProCertification, and all content is available in English and Spanish.
