Mr. KRISHNAMOORTHI. Madam Speaker, today I rise in recognition of the National Roofing Contractors Association and its efforts to promote the roofing industry and the work of its members through the designation of June 5-11, 2022, as National Roofing Week.

A roof is one of the most critical parts of any home or business. It serves as 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 is meant to honor 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 quality roofing's significance for every home and business across the U.S.

Established in 1886 and headquartered in Rosemont, Illinois, NRCA is one of the 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. NRCA uses its vast network of roofing contractors and industry-related members for the installation of new construction and replacement roof systems on commercial and residential structures throughout America. Most of its members are small, privately-held businesses that provide family- sustaining jobs for thousands of hardworking individuals that make up the backbone of our Nation's economy.

Professional roofing contractors provide vital services to their communities, on and off the clock. NRCA members will recognize National Roofing Week June 5-11 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.
