Making Connections at the 2024 GAF Latinos In Roofing Summit
For the past several years, GAF has hosted the Latinos In Roofing Summit & Expo to acknowledge, celebrate, and empower Latino roofing contractors and installers. The event provides networking opportunities, education, and training—presented entirely in Spanish—in a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere.Now in its third year, the summit has become a trusted resource for the Spanish-speaking contractor community to gain insights into how to better run and grow their roofing businesses. Educational sessions cover topics essential for business success, such as sales, insurance restoration work, commercial roofing, leadership, marketing, and roofing products.The first Latinos In Roofing Expo of 2024 was held on June 22nd in Los Angeles, and hundreds of industry professionals attended. With an emphasis on fostering community, the event featured a range of activities, including a pre-reception networking session and the chance to attend an LA Dodgers game with their new connections.Here's a look at what the event offered attendees and the experiences they shared.Breaking through Language BarriersAlan Lopez, GAF CARE trainer, explains that Latinos In Roofing events were developed when he noticed more Hispanic contractors attending GAF events conducted in English. For many of them, English was a second language, so it was harder to learn and take in all the information, some of which was lost in translation. Lopez reached out to his leadership at GAF, and they were eager to offer resources for Latino contractors, hosting the first expo in 2019.Abad Sarate, CEO of Asa Pro Roofing in Seattle, Washington, credits the conference being conducted entirely in Spanish as critical to successfully learning and understanding the information presented. "For us, it is very important to understand it in our main language, it is essential," he says. "And to have this type of conference for many Latino contractors fills us with pride." He continues, "I see more and more Latinos owning roofing companies, and the truth is that I am very happy—it makes me very proud as a Latino too."Luis Velasquez from Entrenando Latinos In Roofing agrees that the summit presented in Spanish was important to attendees' success. "We Latinos, who are first generation, who did not go through school, who come from poor countries, have a conflict and that is that we do not understand 100% English, we are not fully bilingual," he said. "So, when we manage to understand what is going on and how we can put it into practice, it is a complete gain. When we put knowledge in our head, the head will put money in our pockets."Creating an Annual Tradition for Roofing ProfessionalsGaining knowledge for business success was a key theme at this year's event. The informational sessions, keynote lectures, and demonstrations enabled attendees to learn about new products and gain new skills while connecting with other Latinos in the roofing industry. Many attendees were repeat visitors, demonstrating the value the event provides.Sarate is a two-time attendee and explains that the annual gathering has been instrumental in his company's development. "It has been an exceptional part of our growth because of all the knowledge that we take away from here," he shares. "We come back with much more knowledge. And in the end, knowledge is power... We put that knowledge back into the company, and it has benefited us a lot."Marcos Sierra from Sierra Group Roofing & Solar returned to the expo for a third time because of the networking opportunities and education. "The reason I come back is, one, to see my colleagues from other parts of the United States. Two, every time I come, I learn something new. And three, to refine, refine, refine. [So we can] grow our business," he said.Supporting Contractors beyond the Roofing Summit & ExpoThe Latinos In Roofing initiative started at GAF to create resources and a community for Spanish-speaking contractors and installers. Since establishing the initiative in 2017, the company has seen more and more members of the Hispanic community thrive.Contractors who attend the Latinos In Roofing Summit & Expo are granted access to GAF business tools, which they can use to raise their profit margins and reduce risks. They can also work toward becoming certified with GAF and joining the elite certified contractor program. They can then offer GAF warranties that help with their value propositions when working with potential clients.From increasing profits to growing their client lists and achieving financial independence, the contractors are finding success through the support they receive. Sarate can attest to how attending these Expos has helped his business. He notes that he's grateful for all of the support GAF offers.Joining the CommunityIf you're ready to become part of a community that truly understands your needs, will help you grow your business, and provide resources in your preferred language, explore GAF Latinos In Roofing. You can learn about available resources and online classes, join the GAF rewards program, become certified with GAF, and sign up to attend future events.

How GAF's VIBE ERG Supports Veteran Employees and Their Local Communities
A group of local GAF employees in Burgaw, North Carolina, is making a difference for veterans and the community as a whole. In 2024 alone, Veteran Involvement Brings Excellence (VIBE) has undertaken several initiatives to give back to Burgaw as well as all who live and work there.Bill Price, GAF production supervisor II at the Burgaw manufacturing plant, is the champion for the group. He recently sat down to discuss VIBE's latest projects and share insight into its motivations.What Is the VIBE ERG at GAF?VIBE is an employee resource group (ERG) available for all GAF employees. It focuses on the needs of veterans who work at GAF, provides a place for employees to share their experiences, and helps foster opportunities for them to give back to their communities.Each GAF plant has a VIBE group and facility leader that organizes the team. GAF leadership supports each group and its community efforts.The VIBE ERG's mission is to create a supportive environment for veterans and active duty members from all military branches. The group's core values are integrity, duty, honor, and respect. VIBE provides personal support for members and helps them manage the realities of being a veteran, such as applying for benefits.Each VIBE group can work on or be involved in whatever projects they wish. While their primary focus is to support veterans, they also strive to give back to the local communities they live and work in.VIBE Projects in BurgawThe VIBE ERG at the Burgaw plant meets regularly to discuss the activities they want to get involved in. This year, the group has participated in several projects:17 GAF-employed veterans volunteered for the second annual Habitat for Humanity veteran's build, which GAF donated roofing materials for.Team members participated in a food and clothing drive for a local women's shelter.A local veteran service officer visited the plant to help workers learn about—and gain access to—benefits and resources.In honor of Memorial Day, VIBE provided an opportunity for volunteers to place flags at veterans' tombstones at Coastal Carolina State Veterans Cemetery and Wilmington National Cemetery.That's not all the group has planned for. Future initiatives include hosting Toys for Tots at the plant, adopting a highway in honor of veterans, representing GAF at a booth for the Burgaw Blueberry Festival, and continuing to support local veterans in need.How VIBE Impacts GAF and the CommunityThe Burgaw facility, which employs about 247 people, has one of the largest veteran groups within GAF, totaling 28 members. The facility manufactures ventilation products, such as roof vents, foundation vents, turbines, and heating and cooling ductwork."The group has brought the veterans at the plant together to work toward a common goal and also given everyone the comradery they were accustomed to from when they were in the service," Price says. "I think this has had an impact not only on the employees involved but also on the plant as a whole. All of us involved enjoy being part of the team and giving back to those in need."Price notes that each project the group has been a part of has been well received. "We received many thanks from the families that were receiving assistance from the Habitat build and also from the staff at the local women's shelter during the food and clothing drive," he says. "I have no doubt that as we continue to be involved with more events within the community, it will only get better."Giving Back While Looking AheadGAF believes in giving back to its employees and the communities they work in. VIBE is just one of seven GAF ERGs making a difference in team members' lives and those most important to them.Curious to learn more about the opportunities and culture at GAF?

GAF Supports Puerto Rico Hurricane Recovery
As part of its mission to build resilient communities, GAF Community Matters has supported Puerto Rico hurricane recovery efforts through roofing material donations, roof installation trainings, and team members' hard work. This has had a multifaceted impact on the island and the people who call it home.Hurricane Maria Hit HardHurricane recovery services are needed as urgently today as they were in 2017 when Hurricane Maria struck, leaving behind 15-foot deep floodwaters, about $90 billion in damage, an estimated 2,975 lives lost, and the longest power outage in US history. For 11 months, residents waited for electricity to be fully restored.Short-term disaster relief poured in post-storm. But years after the news cycles ended, Puerto Rico still remains—metaphorically—underwater. Schools and hospitals have fallen into hurricane-related disrepair, and insufficient fixes to the power grid cause frequent blackouts and brownouts.To make matters worse, hurricane-damaged homes that weren't repaired suffer compound damage from years of subsequent storms and exposure.Puerto Ricans Stand StrongThe people of Puerto Rico are strong and proud, determined to rebuild. However, the availability of needed resources poses a considerable challenge.For many, the funds needed to repair an unsafe roof are simply out of reach. Economic opportunities are scarce, and the government is heavily in debt. The US Census Bureau reported that 42% of Puerto Rican people are in poverty.Unfortunately, lower-income Puerto Rican households most vulnerable to Hurricane Maria were also least able to recover from the financial strain of repairing storm damage. With wind speeds up to 155 mph, extensive flash flooding, and wind tunnels ripping through the mountainous terrain, homes throughout this area were no match for the Category 4 hurricane.GAF Helps Build ResilienceTo help those impacted, GAF partnered with Team Rubicon, local nongovernmental organizations, and community members through the GAF Community Matters initiative to assist in Puerto Rico hurricane recovery. Since hurricane Maria recovery efforts began in 2017, GAF has donated materials for over 500 roofs and helped install them, bringing relief and shelter to families all over the island.This work has meant more to this community than just keeping their homes dry. Mr. Alfredo—a homeowner who received a new GAF roof—said, "There is nothing more important in life than to have a place to come home to, spend quality time in, sit, and be at peace."For all of Puerto Rico's strength and perseverance, many families still live in unsafe conditions due to hurricanes. GAF can't stop storms, but it can help build resilience.To that end, in addition to installing roofs, GAF, through the GAF Community Matters initiative and GAF Roofing Academy program, provided free roof installation trainings to local organizations in vulnerable Puerto Rican communities. Educating communities on roof installation creates a greater ability to adapt and bounce back when the next storm hits.Joining the Effort for GoodIn addition to its focus on roofing innovation, GAF remains committed to partnering with local organizations to build resilience in communities across the country. Team members will continue to donate time and materials to support and strengthen communities wherever the need may be.Curious to learn more about this project and other initiatives GAF is involved in?
