What a week! Here’s a quick recap of everything ECA kicked off early last week at IRE:
We began IRE alongside National Women In Roofing, celebrating 10 years of empowering women and building community across the roofing industry.
We then kicked things off with our ECA Member Meeting, bringing members together to connect, collaborate, and launch the week. A special moment of the evening was honoring Earl Ward with the ECA Founders Award, recognizing his lasting impact, leadership, and dedication to ECA and our members.
The momentum continued through the evening at the cocktail reception with ECA members and partners and where FEI's newest team member to the ECA division, Marshall Beldon, joined us - meeting more members and creating incredible connections!
Grateful for the community, the conversations, and a killer week!
