Government Advocacy

NRCA represents roofing professionals before the U.S. Congress and federal government. NRCA's Washington, D.C., office serves as NRCA's full-time advocate in our nation's capital and works to advance the roofing industry's public policy agenda to help your business grow while fighting proposals that would adversely affect your business.

NRCA member interests are concentrated in the following areas: tax policy, energy efficiency, labor and workplace regulation, education and work-force training, immigration, regulatory reform, insurance, litigation reform, and health care. The Washington office monitors and advocates positions on all federal legislation and regulatory activity in areas that affect NRCA members. To that end, NRCA works closely with legislators and officials from the federal government and produces congressional testimony, legislative and regulatory advocacy materials, copy for Professional Roofing magazine and NRCA's Web site, and regular updates to NRCA members.

NRCA also establishes and participates in coalitions and industry groups to integrate lobbying activities, identify areas of mutual concern and advance the roofing industry's policy agenda. Currently, NRCA is involved in the following organizations:

• Co-Chair — Construction Organizations for Sensible Taxation (COST) Coalition
• Co-Chair — Construction Litigation and Insurance Coalition
• Steering Committee Member — Essential Worker Immigration Coalition
• Steering Committee Member — Association Health Plan Coalition
