FRANKFORT, Ill. (PRWEB) February 28, 2019 -- Rod Petrick, president of Ridgeworth Roofing Co. Inc., Frankfort, Illinois has been named the next chairman of the board-elect of the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA).
Petrick will serve for the 2019-2020 fiscal year. On June 1, he will begin his one-year term as the second highest-ranking officer of one of the oldest construction trade associations in the United States.

Petrick is looking forward to assisting current Chairman Nick Sabino of Deer Park Roofing, Inc. in Cincinnati. “I want to help Nick with any mission he wants to complete this year,” Petrick said. “The Pro-Certification Program, — a program which uses a series of assessments, for the NRCA to certify workers who have met all the requirements for each type of roof system installation allowing them to earn professional credentials — is a big item for the NRCA. We are looking to show people that professional roofing contractors are the good guys. We are bringing a Certified Trained Roofing Professional to the job.”
