A group of construction industry leaders will celebrate the first-ever Construction Inclusion Week Oct. 18-22 to build awareness; celebrate diversity, equity and inclusion; and provide educational and business resources for the industry. The theme for the inaugural Construction Inclusion Week is “Building the Foundation for Inclusion,” which is meant to encourage focused dialogue and action in the industry.
All members of the construction industry are invited to unite to advance diversity, equity and inclusion. Construction Inclusion Week encourages participating firms to organize activities on their job sites and in their offices that offer opportunities for construction professionals to discuss leadership commitment and accountability; unconscious bias; supplier diversity; job-site culture; and community outreach. Resources include webinars, videos and toolbox talks.
NRCA believes diversity and inclusion of different perspectives ensure rich and collaborative decision-making in all organizations. NRCA’s Diversity + Inclusion Committee works to uplift underrepresented groups by providing resources and guidance and collaborating with its members. NRCA also offers a Spanish section on its website to provide resources for Spanish-speaking workers and business owners, including roofing industry news, tools, advice, and educational and technical information. NRCA continually strives to help all roofing professionals advance their roofing careers and create and maintain successful businesses.
