Florida Roofing and Sheet Metal
Contractors Association to host
convention and expo in June
Florida Construction News staff writer
T he Florida Roofing and Sheet Metal Contractors Asso-
ciation, Inc. (FRSA) will host its 95 th Annual Convention
and Florida Roofing & Sheet Metal Expo June 22 to 24 at the
Hyatt Regency Orlando and Orange County Convention Cen-
tre. The event provides networking, as well as educational
opportunities, through a variety of seminars and workshops
and a total of 23 hours of continuing education credits of-
fered through FRSA’s Educational and Research Foundation,
CILB Provider #0000910, Florida Board of Architecture
#0000910 (select courses), and the BCAIB (Building Code
Administrators and Inspectors Board) Provider #0000910.

The association’s website says that “all courses are de-
signed specifically for contractors” under the goal of provid-
ing members with the tools required to run successful
businesses. Licensed construction contractors are “required to earn
14 hours of continuing education credit” every two years
and must meet six specific training requirements so courses
are focused on this.

Seminars at the event will cover topics including licens-
ing issues and construction contracts; the impact of the
legalization of marijuana on the construction industry led by
Trent Cotney, P.A.; how to hire smart, manage smart, sell
smart; wind mitigation methods and the law; drones up-
dates in the roofing industry; and OSHA updates the con-
struction industry, also presented by Cotney.

The conference and expo is just one of many programs
FRSA has developed over its 95-year history to meet its pur-
pose of fostering and encouraging “a high standard of busi-
ness ethics among members” and informing “the public of
the importance of doing business with competent, ethical
and licensed companies.”
The association has positioned itself to be proactive in
meeting the growing threat of a labor shortage and the chal-
lenge of attracting young people to the industry through its
Young Professionals (YP) group. According to the associa-
tion’s website, the YP group’s mission is to “bridge the gap
between current and future roofing industry professionals
through networking, technology and education” while striv-
ing “to promote the advancement of the roofing industry
through new and innovative technologies while preserving
the roots that our industry was founded upon.”
Among the association’s initiatives with respect to this
mission is an FRSA apprenticeship program, educational
opportunities for young professionals, and increased YP
participation in events and activities.
