                                               the success stories throughout our roofing community.

                                               The details are being finalized for the 2018 Carolina’s Mid-Winter Roofing

                                               During the Summer Convention/Annual Meeting, an idea was floated out

                                               and date for this event. We hope to have more details to you by January.

                                      2018 Most Valued Employee Award
 This program is designed to honor one outstanding employee from North Carolina and one from South Carolina to be recognized
 during the Carolinas Mid-Winter Roofing Expo. Each state will select their MVE of the Year. The purpose of the award is to
 recognize excellence within CRSMCA and allow recipients to serve as role models for other employees, as well as increase
 professionalism and attract additional employees to the roofing industry. Only one employee per branch office of a company may be
 nominated for the MVE of the Year Award.
 Judges will include CRSMCA members. Judges’ decisions will be based on evidence of professionalism; uniqueness or significance of
 a nominee’s contribution; and benefit to a nominee’s company and co-workers or community.
 Award recipients will receive a plaque, free registration to the Carolinas Mid-Winter Roofing Expo, and one night lodging during the
 Carolinas Mid-Winter Roofing Expo. Winners will be formally honored and presented the award during the Business Session on
 Wednesday, January 17, 2018 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
 Nominations must be received by the CRSMCA office by DECEMBER 15, 2017. For more information or to obtain additional
 nomination forms contact Carla Sims at CRSMCA, at cbsims@crsmca.org or call 704-556-1228.
