“We are thrilled to have Kelly share her story of her career path in the roofing industry that eventually led her to become CEO,” said Mallory Payne, chair of NWIR’s mentoring committee. “Her advice and experience are sure to encourage and inspire everyone attending the event. The NWIR Mentoring Committee works hard to find speakers that are not only influential, but also have powerful stories and passion for this industry.”

The event will feature an interactive question and answer session with Kelly following her presentation.

This special industry event is open to all roofing professionals.
