THE ROOFING INDUSTRY ALLIANCE FOR PROGRESS ANNOUNCES CALL FOR ENTRIES Rosemont, Ill.—The Roofing Industry Alliance for Progress has announced a call for entries for its Roofing Industry's Most Valuable Player (MVP) Awards Program. The deadline for entries is Nov. 10. Any roofing field worker (up to and including superintendent) employed by a National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) member or nonmember contractor is eligible to be nominated. The number of nominations per contracting firm must not exceed three per company branch, and self-nominations are not permitted. Nominees will be evaluated based on 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 up to 10 roofing workers from 10 geographic regions. MVP Award winners will receive two complimentary airfares and two nights’ hotel accommodations during NRCA’s 122nd Annual Convention, Feb. 3-5, 2009, in Las Vegas. Each winner also will receive one complimentary conference registration and exhibit hall pass, two tickets to the NRCA Cocktail and Awards Reception and a $100 American Express Gift Certificate. Once again, one of the 10 MVP Award winners will be chosen as Professional Roofing's Best of the Best. Professional Roofing and OMG Inc., Agawam, Mass., are co-sponsoring the recognition, which will include a special prize and feature article in Professional Roofing Workers. All MVP Award winners also will be recognized in Professional Roofing, NRCA's For Members Only newsletter and on www.roofingindustryalliance.net. Winners also will be the focus of press releases sent to local and national media and industry trade press. Judging will be conducted by a panel of roofing industry representatives, including manufacturers, contractors and other industry suppliers.
