NRF merges with The Roofing Industry Alliance for Progress

The National Roofing Foundation (NRF) has combined with The Roofing Industry Alliance for Progress and will conduct business as the latter. NRF's board of directors and The Roofing Industry Alliance for Progress' Steering Committee have joined to establish the alliance board of trustees.

NRF is a separate but related educational and research organization of NRCA. The Roofing Industry Alliance for Progress was established within NRF to create an endowment fund and provide guidance and direction for the foundation. NRF will remain a legal corporation but do business as the alliance. Scholarship funding—which has been sponsored by NRF—will continue through the alliance.

The merge is motivated by confusion on the roles played by and distinctions between NRF and the alliance.

The objectives and goals established by the alliance for the future are based on developing a balance between roofing-related projects and studies and philanthropic programs. The alliance would like to procure more members and encourage them to take active roles in programs.

For more information, contact Bennett Judson, the alliance's executive director, at (800) 323-9545, Ext. 7513, or e-mail bjudson@nationalroofingfoundation.net.
