2017-2018 Sponsorship Opportunities
National Women in Roofing has experienced a year of tremendous growth in 2017, much in thanks to the dedicated women in our organization backed by the support and motivation from our 28 Founding Sponsors. It is with great pride that we close the 3rd quarter with our 2017 NWIR Founding Sponsor Progress Report and vision for the future.
As an organization of volunteers whose hands-on approach gives every woman and man involved a vested interest in its creation and celebrations, their support of our mission and our four (4) pillars: Networking, Mentoring, Recruitment and Education has been instrumental in establishing our “hand-print” throughout our industry and beyond.
While this report represents our progress in membership, council development, mentoring, industry event support and communication, our vision for exciting new programs and services on a local, regional and national basis will be realized in the coming year. This vision and your place in it as a partner with NWIR will be presented later in this report.
With great thanks and appreciation,
