Learning, laughter and collaboration at RICOWI’s fall gathering

By The Roofing Industry Committee on Weather Issues, Inc. (RICOWI).

Members enjoyed hands-on demonstrations, lively social events and informative sessions that set the stage for a strong year ahead.

The Roofing Industry Committee on Weather Issues, Inc. (RICOWI)'s fall gathering brought together about 40 attendees just outside Fort Worth, Texas, for a close look at Anchor Products’ new facility, which was still under construction yet fully functional for hosting the group. Participants were among the first to step inside the brand-new training space, which comfortably held the crowd and created an intimate setting compared to the oversized rooms common at larger conferences. Anchor Products supplied standout hospitality, including on-site enchilada makers and catered BBQ, which became a memorable highlight for many.

The foundation fundraiser at Trinity River Distillery added a lively social dimension with a private venue, a DJ, karaoke and a raffle that supported the RICOWI Foundation. Attendees also toured the distillery and gathered for photos in front of the venue’s signature mural wall. The second day delivered technical value through educational seminars before members dispersed for a more casual evening.

During the meeting, organizers noted that planning is underway for the spring seminar in Sacramento, scheduled just ahead of the IIBEC conference. That event is expected to center on wildfire-related topics, with speakers still being confirmed.
