The Roofing Alliance has announced the recipient of the 2022 Bennett Award is Dhaval Gajjar, Ph.D., of Clemson University. The award recognizes individuals who volunteer and offer notable positive accomplishments on behalf of the Roofing Alliance and the roofing industry.
Gajjar is being recognized for his contributions during the past five years as he helped to build university-level curriculum in partnership with the Roofing Alliance to bring a higher level of roofing education in construction management programs. He has developed a nine-credit, three-course Roofing Certificate program that is changing the view of roofing in higher education. The Roofing Alliance is committed to sharing the curriculum with other construction management programs and is offering essential training for professors who want to implement the courses.
“Dhaval’s enthusiasm for roofing has been obvious from the very beginning,” said Kelly Van Winkle, Roofing Alliance president. “We are very proud to present this prestigious award to Dhaval, recognizing his contribution to roofing along with his passion to grow the professionalism of the industry.”
