NWIR is so fortunate to be supported by other not-for-profit associations, non-governmental organizations, and business coalitions. We seek these colleagues both in and outside the roofing industry, in adjacent industries, those that represent women in male-dominated fields and those that we have issues in common with.  All the acronyms may look like alphabet soup, but these organizations offer free resources for education, industry information, and/or opportunities for women in male-dominated fields.

The roofing-related media outlets that cover NWIR events and activities are also an excellent news resource for the entire roofing industry.
