Welcome to the Northern NJ Chapter of National Women in Roofing!
The New Jersey Council meets every month in the Northern NJ area.

Our meeting dates and locations change based on majority member availability and safety, so be sure to check our events calendar regularly to stay updated on meeting dates.

February 15, 2023
Thank you Adrianne and the United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers, and Allied Workers Local #10 for hosting our NWIR NJ group. We learned so much about the Union’s history in NJ and top it all off, we were right down the road from the infamous Batto House, the birthplace of the labor movement!
Adrianne is the first woman with Foreman Level 1 certification in her local’s history and the first woman in Northern NJ. We’re so lucky to have her in our council!
We were thrilled to celebrate Adrianne, learn about her pathway to this momentous achievement, and have an open discussion about recruiting the future of our industry’s workforce.
Ps. Those are Adrianne’s children Zach and Rachel, sitting behind and supporting their mom tonight. That’s what it’s all about.

This April we are thrilled to focus on highlighting and strengthening these connections by creating several opportunities for our members to better get to know each other and to also prepare nominations for the NWiR WORLD award (see WORLD Link for award details).

We have a discussion guide ready (and attached to this email) for members to follow that will help us better capture each other’s stories and more easily prepare an award nomination.
We will be kicking off the month with two Get to Know Your Council events, which will be structured so that attendees will be split up among breakout rooms and have a chance to get to know each other a little better! We suggest you follow the discussion guide to help the process. We’ve had a great response using breakout rooms previously, and highly recommend you take advantage of the chance to network one-on-one!
These networking opportunities will build us up towards our April Event, Ladies Who Lunch! Join us on Friday, April 16th from 12-1 PM for a third chance to get to know your fellow council members. As March 23-24 is National Roofing Day, we’ll also be taking some time to celebrate what roofing means to us! We will be sending out google invites and zoom information for each event so that everyone can more easily opt-in.
Calls to Action:

Special thanks to Jennifer Keegan for connecting us with Jennifer Pazdon who presented the results from a survey on engagement and equity solutions in the structural engineering community. This was very insightful as it closely parallels the roofing industry. As we’ve learned tonight, there is some work to be done.
Please reach out if there is a topic you would like to hear more about or an event idea. This is YOUR council and we are here to serve! Hoping some can come down to the Hard Rock Hotel in Atlantic City in March to volunteer at NERCA. We will have a booth and a hospitality event on Wed March 18th at 6pm. It’s a great chance to network and spread the word about our council!

I hope to see our council continue to grow by leaps and bounds, keep sharing the experiences with other women in the industry and invite them to join in!
