Any roofing field worker (up to and including superintendent) employed by an NRCA member or nonmember contractor is eligible to be nominated. Criteria by which nominees will be evaluated includes community service and volunteerism; attracting new roofing workers and helping retain existing ones; contributions to a team effort; outstanding on-the-job performance; and other noteworthy contributions and activities. The awards program will recognize a maximum of 10 roofing workers from 10 geographic regions.
