The Garland Company Inc. Joins NRCA's One Voice Initiative, Becomes NRCA Partner Member

Rosemont, IL - The National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) announces that The Garland Company Inc., of Cleveland, OH, has joined NRCA's One Voice initiative, joining NRCA as a partner member.

In 2017, NRCA launched its One Voice initiative to unite the roofing industry and speak with one voice about matters critical to the roofing industry's continued success.

To ensure all industry sectors are given an opportunity to participate, NRCA amended its bylaws to allow manufacturers, distributors, architects, engineers and consultants that choose to participate to become full members of the association, meaning they will be granted voting rights and eligible for leadership roles within the association. Previously, such rights were reserved only for contractor members.

"NRCA's One Voice initiative offers a unique opportunity for the roofing industry to address the major issues we face. However, our work can only be accomplished with commitments from leaders from all sectors of this great industry," said Reid Ribble, NRCA's CEO. "Only together as a roofing community can we take this transformational approach to address our issues and concerns and achieve success in the future."

Issues currently affecting the roofing industry include workforce development and certification; advancing the industry's public policy agenda; building codes and insurance; and increasing professionalism throughout the industry.

Joe Mellott, director of business development for The Garland Company, has joined NRCA's Industry Executives Committee and will serve as a member of NRCA's Government Relations Committee.

"It is critically important for roofing manufacturers like Garland to not only share their experience and expertise within the industry but also to have the ability to help create change," said Mellott. "We are looking forward to joining NRCA's One Voice initiative and witnessing the progress firsthand."
