National Women in Roofing (NWIR) is a 501(c)6 volunteer-based organization that supports and advances the careers of women roofing professionals, from those working in manufacturing to design to installation, investigation to repair to management, and every step in between.

The pillars of our organization are: networking, mentoring, education and industry recruitment opportunities from the rooftop to the boardroom, for the young professional at the start of her career to the seasoned manager in the executive suite. Through our commitment to connect and empower women in roofing, we contribute to the overall betterment and professionalism of the roofing industry.

Membership also includes and welcomes male “allies” who support the inclusion of women in the roofing industry. Working together, NWIR members are bringing the industry to a new level of excellence by supporting and promoting the contributions of women as an essential component to the future of roofing.
