The future of roofing depends on creating space for more perspectives, stronger leadership and broader career opportunities. For Project Map It (PMI), supporting National Women in Roofing (NWIR) is one way to help build an industry where more people can contribute, grow and lead.
NWIR works to empower women in roofing while supporting career development, professional connections and industrywide professionalism. PMI’s commitment to that mission extends beyond organizational membership. Team members of all genders participate in NWIR, with some contributing through local chapters, national initiatives and specialized councils.
That active involvement is important because meaningful progress requires participation. NWIR’s council structure gives members opportunities to network, develop leadership skills and support one another at both local and national levels.
Women continue to make an impact throughout roofing, including in operations, project management, sales, administration, marketing, leadership and field support. Welcoming more professionals into those roles can strengthen teams, improve communication, broaden leadership perspectives and create new opportunities for future generations.
NWIR also provides practical resources designed to support long-term career growth. Its membership benefits include mentoring, education, training, networking, leadership development and access to local and national events. These programs can help the roofing industry attract talent, strengthen its workforce and continue raising standards of professionalism.
For PMI, supporting NWIR also reflects the company’s approach to its customers and employees. Businesses that invest in people, leadership and development are often equally committed to communication, accountability and customer experience. PMI wants talented professionals to have opportunities to build meaningful careers, continue learning and take pride in their work.
As NWIR marks its 10-year anniversary in 2026, PMI is proud to support the organization’s continued efforts to open doors, build connections and elevate the professionals shaping roofing’s future.
