Education
One of the primary goals of the Colorado Roofing Association is to educate its members.
CRA holds a variety of seminars and programs throughout the year that target specific roofing areas with the goal of increasing our membership’s knowledge and awareness of each. Past topics have covered such topics as TPO/EPDM, legal exposures, roofing technical updates, Silica exposure, metal roofing, underlayments, self-adhered membranes, submittal writing, hail damage assessment, healthcare reform, social media marketing, collections, plan reading, mold litigation exposure and felt alternatives.
