NWIR Committees

NWIR is looking to build strategic partnerships with other industry associations and groups that align with its mission of empowering women in roofing.  This committee will work to identify potential organizational allies and develop ways to encourage collaboration as well as visibility to their membership.


The primary focus of the Councils Committee is to facilitate the development of new and existing local and state councils. This committee focuses on providing strong, positive leadership and communications to councils and supporting the use of resources to ensure the continuation of NWIR branding and pillars at the local level. This committee is also responsible for monitoring that councils are operating within their approved bylaws and to assist members that wish to start a new council in their area.

Committee members help with approving and onboarding new councils, developing and maintaining council materials, council branding, policies and governance, training and more.

The committee also hosts a once-a-month All Council Leaders Call to update leaders with new information about national happenings or to answer questions leaders may have about their own governance, structure or membership.

The DEI Committee helps ensure that NWIR's programs and services are executed with the tenets of diversity, equity and inclusion in place. It is their goal to make sure all NWIR efforts are viewed through this important lens. 

The role of the finance committee is primarily to provide short- and long-term financial oversight for the organization. Typical task areas include budgeting and financial planning, financial reporting, and the creation and monitoring of internal controls and accountability policies and practices.

Key responsibilities of the finance committee include those listed below:

• Budgeting and Financial Planning
• Reporting & Monitoring
• Internal Controls and Accountability, Transparency, and Risk Management
• Covering Audits and Investments
• Monitoring Other Risk Management Areas  

The Workforce Development Committee reaches beyond traditional recruitment strategies to attract and hire women who will bring diverse backgrounds, talents, and experiences to the roofing industry. They work with the councils, other agencies and organizations, and employers.

The Workforce Development Committee includes oversight of two task forces:  SkillsUSA and Girls' Camps. 

The Mentoring Committee exists to empower women in our industry by encouraging mentor/mentee relationships and developing avenues to bring women together to share thoughts, best practices, and coaching opportunities for career growth.

Committee members help develop tools to assist in mentoring, bring mentors and mentees together and facilitate activities that broaden members perspectives on diversity and opportunities in the industry through story-telling of first-hand experiences.
