Meetings and Homework

Annual meeting

The three-year NRCA Future Executives Institute (FEI) is built on 10 core areas essential to small-business operations: leadership, management, strategic planning, human resources, financial management, sales and marketing, roofing industry issues, risk management, family relationships/succession and personal-development skills. Content addressing these areas will be presented throughout the three years. A number of these disciplines build on one another.

NRCA convention

Students enrolled in the institute will participate in a program during the International Roofing Expo and NRCA's annual convention. The program will address one or more of the core areas and provide time to share information about projects that participants have been working on since their institute meeting in the fall.

Projects and assignments

The institute is set with the expectation that each class will complete the three-year program together. Each fall, there will be a four- to five-day, face-to-face program, and during NRCA's annual convention, the class will reconvene for two more days. Participants will be responsible for completing a variety of challenging assignments before, during and after these sessions. Some will involve individual projects about each participant's company. Others will be team assignments with other class members. All are designed to help students gain new perspectives on their professional lives and businesses.
