<h2 dir="ltr">This year&rsquo;s show is coming up fast with the first day being September 27, 2026 and we wanted to help you build the ultimate attendee schedule.</h2>

<p dir="ltr">The <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/wre-2026" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Western Roofing Expo (WRE)</a>, which is sponsored by <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/wsrca" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Western States Roofing Contractors Association (WSRCA)</a>, is one of the premier events in the roofing and waterproofing industry. Not only is it chock full of iconic moments, like the Roofing Games&trade; shingling competition and the live auction, but it also boasts 28 educational sessions, two keynote luncheons and more!</p>

<p dir="ltr">That&rsquo;s a lot of programming for just three days (<strong>the 2026 show will be held from 9/27/26 to 9/29/26</strong>), which is why we wanted to break down some of our must-attend sessions and events!</p>

<h3 dir="ltr">Sunday, September 27, 2026</h3>

<p dir="ltr">The first day of the show will mostly be networking with industry experts and peers.

<h2>This six-course initiative helps contractors develop Hispanic field leaders and improve communication, safety and retention.&nbsp;</h2>

<p>The <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/nrca">National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA)</a> and <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/the-glo-group">The GLO Group</a> have launched the Executive Leadership Bilingual Pilot Program, a six-course initiative focused on strengthening communication between roofing executives and Hispanic field teams. The program was created to help contractors address language differences, cultural disconnects and inconsistent leadership development that can affect productivity, safety, retention and profitability. Its curriculum is intended for owners, executives, operations leaders, human resources professionals and managers responsible for leading diverse teams.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&ldquo;One of the biggest misconceptions I see is that communication challenges are simply a language issue. In reality, they&#39;re a leadership issue,&rdquo; said <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/monica-vornbrock-rcs-en-espanol-influencer">Monica Vornbrock</a>, co-founder and chief innovation and transformation officer of The GLO Group.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Monica is co-facilitating the program with <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/lorna-rojas-rcs-en-espanol-influencer">Lorna Rojas</a>, a specialist in human resources, recruitment, Hispanic training and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) safety practices and Chris Navarro, NRCA&rsquo;s manager of membership sales and Spanish relations.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The interactive courses will address leadership development, psychological safety, cultural trust and the use of modern tools. Topics include &ldquo;Leadership in Two Languages: Elevating Hispanic Supervisors,&rdquo; &ldquo;Psychological Safety and Cultural Trust in Roofing Environments&rdquo; and &ldquo;Modern Tools, Traditional Values: AI + People-Centered Leadership.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Participants will learn strategies for developing Hispanic supervisors, reducing communication breakdowns, improving employee retention and creating greater consistency across multilingual crews. The program also examines how people-centered leadership can support the adoption of technology, systems and artificial intelligence.&nbsp;</p>

<p>NRCA and The GLO Group will introduce the curriculum during a complimentary live webinar Thursday, August 20, at 1 p.m. CT. The session will include an overview of the six courses, introductions to the facilitators and a live question-and-answer period.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Una nueva iniciativa de seis cursos ayudar&aacute; a los contratistas a desarrollar l&iacute;deres hispanos en el campo y fortalecer la comunicaci&oacute;n, la seguridad y la retenci&oacute;n de talento.&nbsp;</h2>

<p><a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/nrca">National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA)</a> y <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/the-glo-group">The GLO Group</a> lanzaron el Executive Leadership Bilingual Pilot Program, un programa de seis cursos dise&ntilde;ado para fortalecer la comunicaci&oacute;n entre los l&iacute;deres de las empresas de roofing y los equipos hispanos en el campo. La iniciativa fue creada para ayudar a los contratistas a superar las barreras del idioma, reducir las diferencias culturales y fortalecer el desarrollo de liderazgo, factores que pueden impactar la productividad, la seguridad, la retenci&oacute;n de empleados y la rentabilidad de una empresa. El programa est&aacute; dirigido a propietarios de empresas, ejecutivos, l&iacute;deres de operaciones, profesionales de recursos humanos y gerentes que supervisan equipos diversos.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&quot;Uno de los conceptos err&oacute;neos m&aacute;s comunes que encuentro es pensar que los problemas de comunicaci&oacute;n se deben &uacute;nicamente al idioma. En realidad, son un problema de liderazgo,&quot; coment&oacute; <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/monica-vornbrock-rcs-en-espanol-influencer">Monica Vornbrock</a>, cofundadora y directora de Innovaci&oacute;n y Transformaci&oacute;n de The GLO Group.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Monica impartir&aacute; el programa junto con <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/lorna-rojas-rcs-en-espanol-influencer">Lorna Rojas</a>, especialista en recursos humanos, reclutamiento, capacitaci&oacute;n para la comunidad hispana y pr&aacute;cticas de seguridad de la Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), as&iacute; como Chris Navarro, gerente de ventas de membres&iacute;as y relaciones en espa&ntilde;ol de la NRCA.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Los cursos interactivos abordar&aacute;n temas como el desarrollo de liderazgo, la seguridad psicol&oacute;gica, la confianza cultural y el uso de herramientas modernas. Entre los m&oacute;dulos se encuentran &quot;Liderazgo en Dos Idiomas: Impulsando a los Supervisores Hispanos,&quot; &quot;Seguridad Psicol&oacute;gica y Confianza Cultural en Entornos de Roofing&quot; y &quot;Herramientas Modernas, Valores Tradicionales: IA y Liderazgo Centrado en las Personas.&quot;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Los participantes aprender&aacute;n estrategias para desarrollar supervisores hispanos, reducir los problemas de comunicaci&oacute;n, mejorar la retenci&oacute;n de empleados y generar mayor consistencia entre cuadrillas multiling&uuml;es. Adem&aacute;s, el programa explora c&oacute;mo un liderazgo centrado en las personas puede facilitar la adopci&oacute;n de nuevas tecnolog&iacute;as, sistemas e inteligencia artificial.&nbsp;</p>

<p>NRCA y The GLO Group presentar&aacute;n el programa durante un webinar gratuito en vivo el jueves 20 de agosto a la 1:00 p.m. hora del Centro. La sesi&oacute;n incluir&aacute; una introducci&oacute;n a los seis cursos, la presentaci&oacute;n de los instructores y un espacio de preguntas y respuestas en vivo.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Involucr&aacute;ndose, participando y alzando la voz marca la diferencia en la industria y m&aacute;s all&aacute;.&nbsp;</h2>

<p><a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/podcast/monica-vornbrock-techado-representacion-y-resultados">En este episodio de La Voz de los Ruferos</a>, Jessica Bravo conversa con <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/monica-vornbrock-rcs-en-espanol-influencer">Monica Vornbrock</a> de <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/the-glo-group">The GLO Group</a> y <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/lorna-rojas-rcs-en-espanol-influencer">Lorna Rojas</a> de <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/tremco">Tremco</a>, ambas miembros activas de <a href="https://youtu.be/og3pqN_9IqQ?si=u3me4BZI3Mf62hJq">National Women in Roofing y su iniciativa Conexi&oacute;n Hispana</a>, sobre su experiencia participando en Roofing Day en Washington, D.C.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Cada a&ntilde;o,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/nrca-en-espanol">National Roofing Contractors Association</a> organiza <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/post/rumbo-a-dc-para-roofing-day-2026">Roofing Day</a> con el objetivo de reunir a profesionales de la industria con miembros del Congreso para dialogar sobre los desaf&iacute;os que enfrentan. Este a&ntilde;o, los temas principales incluyen la escasez de mano de obra y la vivienda asequible.&nbsp;</p>

<p>La conversaci&oacute;n destaca la importancia de la representaci&oacute;n, la comunidad y el impulso para que m&aacute;s profesionales hispanohablantes y mujeres participen activamente en la construcci&oacute;n del futuro de la industria del techado.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ambas dicen que participar en eventos como Roofing Day es clave para generar un impacto real en la industria. Como explica Lorna, &ldquo;para que la industria avance, tiene que haber comunicaci&oacute;n en ambas direcciones. Tenemos que participar, dar nuestra opini&oacute;n y ser parte del proceso para que realmente nos puedan apoyar&rdquo; y Monica agrega que &ldquo;cuando te mantienes informada y participas, tu voz importa. Las organizaciones est&aacute;n escuchando pero tienes que presentarte y compartir lo que est&aacute; afectando a tu mercado.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Durante el mes de marzo, como preparaci&oacute;n para Roofing Day, escuchamos a nuestros <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/rcs-influencers-en-espanol">Influencers En Espa&ntilde;ol</a> reflexionar sobre la importancia de este evento. Como explica Carlos Rodr&iacute;guez, &ldquo;<a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/post/nuestra-voz-tiene-un-impacto-que-va-mucho-ms-all-de-los-techos-que-construimos-o-reparamos">Nuestra voz tiene un impacto que va mucho m&aacute;s all&aacute; de los techos que construimos o reparamos</a>,&rdquo; mientras que otros tambi&eacute;n destacan que &ldquo;<a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/post/en-donde-no-estamos-no-somos-vistos">en donde no estamos, no somos vistos</a>&rdquo; y que &ldquo;<a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/post/las-voces-siempre-hacen-falta">las voces siempre hacen falta</a>,&rdquo; reforzando la idea de que no podemos generar un cambio si no participamos ni usamos nuestra voz.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/podcast/monica-vornbrock-techado-representacion-y-resultados"><strong>Escucha este episodio para entender la importancia de presentarte, porque cada voz cuenta y ahora es el momento de alzarla.</strong></a></p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>En los &uacute;ltimos a&ntilde;os, AI se ha convertido en uno de los temas m&aacute;s discutidos dentro de muchas industrias, incluyendo roofing. Monica menciona c&oacute;mo esta tecnolog&iacute;a ha tomado protagonismo en muchas conversaciones y por qu&eacute; es importante entender el rol que est&aacute; jugando actualmente. Como ella misma dice, &ldquo;AI no nos va a reemplazar, pero una persona que sepa usar AI nos va a reemplazar.&rdquo; Y agrega que, como &ldquo;AI no se va a ir a ning&uacute;n lado&rdquo;, lo mejor es &ldquo;adoptarlo y aprender c&oacute;mo usarlo a nuestro favor.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Despu&eacute;s de ver todas las herramientas y beneficios que AI puede ofrecer, junto con el miedo que muchas personas todav&iacute;a sienten, Monica decidi&oacute; crear un curso pr&aacute;ctico que puede completarse en solo 90 minutos.

<p>Aunque Monica habla sobre todos los beneficios y oportunidades que AI ofrece, tambi&eacute;n enfatiza la importancia de usar estas herramientas con precauci&oacute;n. &ldquo;La privacidad es una de las cosas m&aacute;s importantes con AI,&rdquo; explica. Tambi&eacute;n recomienda, &ldquo;No poner informaci&oacute;n personal, no poner informaci&oacute;n de nuestra compa&ntilde;&iacute;a,&rdquo; y recuerda que &ldquo;no hay suficientes reglas y regulaciones todav&iacute;a, entonces uno tiene que protegerse uno mismo.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
