Following a recent presentation to the Institute of Roofing (IoR) board of directors, Women in Roofing (WinR) has announced that it has been fully endorsed by the IoR for the role that it has played in the roofing industry over the last three years.
WinR says the unanimous agreement to operate as part of the IoR is a significant step in the roofing industry and a call for change within other roofing trade federations for adoption of policies on issues around fairness, inclusion and respect; more women in the boardroom; reducing the pay gap, and other equal opportunities issues.
This announcement means a new opportunity for harmonisation between the IoR and WinR membership, as membership of Women in Roofing will automatically be awarded to any member of the Institute whom requests it.
New individuals wishing to formally join Women in Roofing would be equally given the opportunity to apply for Institute of Roofing professional membership.
The Institute of Roofing and Women in Roofing will be running regular CPD and regional meetings and events in a joint effort to engage with our members and offer support with professional development, networking opportunities and a platform for consultation and discussions for like-minded individuals.
Furthermore, WinR is pleased to announce that the second Annual Women in Roofing Conference will be held at The Radisson Blu Hotel, East Midlands Airport.
The conference, scheduled for March 10, 2017, will include key note speakers, panel debates, manufacturer demonstrations and networking opportunities.
