M. Potteiger Inc., York, Pa., has joined The Roofing Industry Alliance for Progress at the Governor level. The Alliance now has 166 members.
M. Potteiger has been in business since 1969, serving commercial, industrial and institutional building owners throughout Pennsylvania and northern Maryland.
The Alliance was established within the National Roofing Foundation in 1996 to create an endowment fund to serve as a resource for the roofing industry and its customers.
Alliance members have committed more than $13.3 million to fund projects such as educational partnerships with three of the country's top construction management schools to expose college students to roofing as a career choice; sponsorship of a national construction management student design competition; national survey of roofing workers; the NRCA Roof Application Training Program series; and a study to examine what the industry will look like in 20 years. The Alliance also supports philanthropic outreach, including its partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities with the goal of maintaining the roofs of the 165 standalone Ronald McDonald houses in the U.S.
To make the Alliance work, member participation is vital, and the Alliance offers different levels of membership to encourage firms of all sizes to join and have a voice in determining the roofing industry's future.
