   RECOGNIZING NATIONAL ROOFING WEEK (NRW) AND THE NATIONAL ROOFING

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 18, 2022

  Mr. KRISHNAMOORTHI. Madam Speaker, today I rise in recognition of the 
National Roofing Contractors Association and its efforts to promote the 
roofing industry and the work of its members through the designation of 
June 5-11, 2022, as National Roofing Week.
  A roof is one of the most critical parts of any home or business. It 
serves as the first line of defense against natural elements, such as 
rain, snow, or wind, and yet it is often taken for granted until it 
falls into disrepair. National Roofing Week is meant to honor the 
thousands of roofing-related businesses and workers across the country, 
as well as the industry's commitment to public service. National 
Roofing Week is a valuable reminder of quality roofing's significance 
for every home and business across the U.S.
  Established in 1886 and headquartered in Rosemont, Illinois, NRCA is 
one of the oldest trade associations and the voice of professional 
roofing contractors worldwide. NRCA has nearly 4,000 roofing company 
members who represent the entire roofing supply chain. NRCA uses its 
vast network of roofing contractors and industry-related members for 
the installation of new construction and replacement roof systems on 
commercial and residential structures throughout America. Most of its 
members are small, privately-held businesses that provide family-
sustaining jobs for thousands of hardworking individuals that make up 
the backbone of our Nation's economy.
  Professional roofing contractors provide vital services to their 
communities, on and off the clock. NRCA members will recognize National 
Roofing Week June 5-11 by supporting numerous charitable projects, 
employee training programs, and other activities across the nation. I 
commend NRCA and the vital role the organization and its members play 
in every community, and I ask my colleagues to join me in acknowledging 
their contributions during National Roofing Week.
