NRCA ANNOUNCES CHARLIE RAYMOND AWARD WINNERS New Orleans—During the National Roofing Contractors Association's (NRCA's) 123rd Annual Convention Feb. 20-24, NRCA presented its Charlie Raymond Award to Robert McNamara, president of F.J.A. Christiansen Roofing Co. Inc., Milwaukee, a Tecta America company, and GAF Materials Corp., Wayne, N.J. The Charlie Raymond Award is NRCA's most prestigious membership recruitment award. The award annually honors a manufacturer and an individual for their extraordinary efforts to recruit new members to NRCA. McNamara recruited five new members, and GAF Materials recruited 15.
