to participating in programs that have positive effects on a segment of his or her
community and/or the general public.

work ethic and outstanding workmanship in a roofing application and contribute creative

Eligibility
Any field roofing worker up to and including superintendent employed by an NRCA
member or nonmember contractor is eligible to be nominated. The number of nominations
per contracting firm must not exceed three per company branch.
No self-nominations are permitted. Rather, each participating contractor or his
or her designee is responsible for preparing and submitting the entry form(s) and
including supporting information—input from all employees is strongly encouraged.
Entry preparation
Entries should be submitted as follows:
- Complete the official entry form with the name and job title of the nominated employee;
check the award category(ies) in which the nominee is being entered; and provide
company name, address and other contact information requested.
- On a separate sheet or sheets of paper, type each award category in which the nominee
is being entered and a description of the specific attributes, activities and other
factors that make that individual noteworthy or unique. Provide adequate detail
so judges have a basis of comparison with other entries. Note: Entries submitted
without supporting information will not be considered. Handwritten entries
are discouraged. To assist you with the nomination process, sample applications
are available at
www.nrca.net/rp/about/awards/mvp/samples.aspx.
- Feel free to include other information and material that may help strengthen the
nominee's credentials as a potential award winner, such as customer and supervisor
comments. Remember, the only information the judges will have to base their decision
on is the information presented with the entry.
- Package entries carefully, and be sure to mail them with adequate postage. The Roofing
Industry Alliance for Progress will not be responsible for loss or damage to any
submission.
