Message from Balanced Program Committee Chair Jamie McAdam
The Alliance established a new initiative to help people in the roofing industry
who are in need: Its Helping Our Own Program is intended to help those in the roofing
industry who have experienced life-altering circumstances, such as injury, illness,
disability or death. The Alliance anticipates its Helping Our Own Program will help
individuals in a variety of ways. For example, the program could help with disaster
relief, disability accommodation, supply of medical or household equipment, and/or
bill payment assistance.
The Alliance's Balanced Program Committee, which is responsible for selecting projects
for funding and overseeing fund distribution, will review program applications received
through Alliance members. Initially, any requests for funding from employees of
roofing contractors, roofing materials manufacturers, suppliers and distributors
and their immediate family members who are eligible for the program must be nominated
through an Alliance member.
The Helping Our Own Program is going to be an excellent way to expand the Alliance's
philanthropic side. It's going to be a way for the Alliance to reach out to people
within the industry who are having a hard time and help them with their situations.
Jamie McAdam
