RECOGNIZING THE WEEK OF JUNE 7 TO 13, 2026, AS NATIONAL ROOFING WEEK

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 80 (Tuesday, May 12, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 80 (Tuesday, May 12, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Pages E428-E429] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING THE WEEK OF JUNE 7 TO 13, 2026, AS NATIONAL ROOFING WEEK ______ HON. RAJA KRISHNAMOORTHI of illinois in the house of representatives Tuesday, May 12, 2026 Mr. KRISHNAMOORTHI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the National Roofing Contractors Association headquartered in ltasca, Illinois, and its efforts to designate the week of June 7 to 13, 2026, as National Roofing Week. The roof is one of the most important components of any home or business. It is the first line of defense against natural elements, such as rain, snow or wind, and yet it is often taken for granted until it falls into disrepair. National Roofing Week honors the thousands of roofing-related businesses and workers across the country, as well as the industry's commitment to public service. National Roofing Week is a valuable reminder of the significance quality roofing has on every home and business in the U.S. [[Page E429]] Established in 1886, NRCA is one of the Nation's oldest trade associations and the voice of professional roofing contractors worldwide. NRCA has nearly 4,000 roofing company members who represent the entire roofing supply chain. Using its vast network of roofing contractors and industry-related members, NRCA is responsible for the installation of new construction and replacement roof systems on commercial and residential structures in America. Most of its members are small, privately held businesses that provide family-sustaining jobs for thousands of hardworking individuals who are the backbone of our economy. Professional roofing contractors provide vital services to their communities, on and off the clock. NRCA members will recognize National Roofing Week June 7 to 13, 2026, by supporting numerous charitable projects, employee training programs and other activities across the Nation. I commend NRCA and the vital role the organization and its members play in every community, and I ask my colleagues to join me in acknowledging their contributions during National Roofing Week. ____________________
