About US
How It Began
In 2018 founding member, Jenny Maxwell, heard about the National Women in Roofing organisation based in the United States of America. This organisation connects women across the USA with a broad mandate in networking and education. Jenny travelled to their annual national convention to discuss setting up a New Zealand Women in Roofing organisation, using their framework as a model.
Today New Zealand Women in Roofing is well established with members from around the country in a wide variety of roles across the roofing industry.
Who We Are
