Opens Nominations for 2024 North American
Female Roofing Professional of the Year
In honor of International Women’s Day, Beacon (Nasdaq: BECN),
the only publicly traded specialty roofing and complementary
products distributor, announced today the launch of its fourth
annual North American Female Roofing Professional of the Year. This
campaign celebrates women in the roofing industry across the U.S.
and Canada by calling on the public at large to nominate a female
roofing professional who has demonstrated excellence, a commitment
to putting people first, making safety a priority, doing the right
thing, and building for her customers, her co-workers, and her
community.
Any woman who works in the roofing industry can be nominated,
whether they are in operations, accounting, sales, ownership,
estimating, or other roles. Nominations can be made until April 10
by going to the campaign website. Five finalists will be announced
in May, and members of the public will have an opportunity to vote
for their favorite finalists. Beacon will announce the winner and
runners-up in June. The five winners will receive funding to
support further professional development, such as attending the
International Roofing Expo.
“We’re excited to honor the tremendous work and variety of
skills that women in the roofing industry offer to communities,”
said Birte von Schwarzenfeld, Beacon’s Senior Vice President,
Commercial Solutions. “Beacon recognizes the value that women bring
to our industry, and this program was created to spotlight the
significant contributions they bring to their organizations. We
look forward to another year of being inspired by women in our
community who have displayed outstanding commitment and
leadership.”
Last year’s winner, Michelle Ly Hall, Operations Manager of Hall
Roofing and Construction in Round Rock, TX, was recognized for her
dedication to women’s empowerment in the roofing industry. As a
community leader she supports local military philanthropies and
serves on the YMCA Board of Directors, the Williamson County
Children's Advocacy Center Board of Directors, and the Round Rock
Rotary Board of Directors. She is also co-chair for the University
of Texas Kappa Delta Chapter Advisory Board and is an elected
official on the Round Rock City Council.
“I am incredibly thankful for the support I received throughout
this year,” said Michelle Ly Hall. “Roofing has changed my life and
I’m grateful to Beacon for raising awareness about the important
role women play in the roofing industry.”
From March 8- April 10, 2024 the public can nominate a female
roofing professional on the campaign website or by submitting an
e-mail to FemaleRoofingContest@becn.com. Nominations should include
why the nominee deserves to be named the Female Roofing
Professional of the Year as well as a short biography and
photo.
