The Roofing Alliance Now Accepting Nominations for MVP and Gold Circle Awards

Awards recognize team members committed to the industry and those who support their coworkers and communities.

The Roofing Alliance, the foundation of the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA), is accepting nominations for two signature awards programs—the 2019-20 Most Valuable Player (MVP) and the 2020 Gold Circle Awards.  The two Roofing Alliance programs continue to promote excellence in the industry with the MVP Awards Program recognizing workers committed to excellence on and off the roof and the Gold Circle Awards program recognizing Roofing Alliance and NRCA members for outstanding contributions to the roofing industry.

MVP Awards
The Roofing Alliance’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) Awards program celebrates workers who are outstanding employees within their companies and recognizes them for their outstanding performance outside the workplace—their charitable deeds, community involvement, challenges they’ve overcome, dedication and commitment to helping others.

The award categories include:

• Outstanding On-the-Job Performance/Workmanship - Dedicated, reliable employees are vital to a company’s success and, among those employees, usually one stands out above all others. That’s the employee who 1) Has a strong work ethic, 2) Shows leadership, initiative and resourcefulness, 3) Has earned an outstanding safety record, 4) Shows support for his or her co-workers and 5) Goes above and beyond. 
• Outstanding Performance/Other Noteworthy Contributions Outside the Workplace - Outstanding workers not only have a passion for the work they do and a sense of loyalty toward their employers, but they also show compassion for others outside the workplace. They volunteer their time with their communities, churches, families and friends. They are determined to overcome challenges and obstacles they may face personally or stand by others who need their support. They’re always willing to extend a helping hand. They display exemplary service, leadership, commitment and selfless devotion.

MVPs are role models who demonstrate work-related and personal goals to which others aspire. Through the MVP program, roofing professionals can nominate employees for awards to formally recognize his or her outstanding contributions through on-the-job performance and workmanship or for outstanding performance and other noteworthy contributions outside the workplace.  In addition, one MVP winner will be chosen to be Professional Roofing’s and OMG Roofing Products’ Best of the Best. Deadline for nominations is November 15, 2019.  Applications and additional information can be found at http://roofingalliance.net/programs/mvp/.
