Entry information
Eligibility
Any field roofing worker up to and including superintendent employed by an NRCA
member or nonmember contractor is eligible to be nominated.

including supporting information—at least a minimum of 100 words. Input from
employees is strongly encouraged.

ethic and outstanding workmanship in a roofing application and contribute creative
ideas for problem solving.
- Safety performance: A nominee must have an outstanding safety record and/or
contribute to the improved safety of the work crew.

ones.
- Community service and volunteerism: A nominee should be actively committed
to participating in programs that have positive effects on a segment of his or her
community and/or the general public.
