TRIA Attends Roofing Day in D.C. 2025

The Tile Roofing Industry Alliance had another successful annual fly-in to Washington, D.C. where we also attended the National Roofing Contractor Association's Roofing Day in D.C.

This year we attended with our largest delegation yet, totaling 15 TRIA members.

Our primary advocacy focuses this year included our support for extending the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, cutting regulations, lower energy costs, and a more efficient government that listens to private sector concerns. It was an honor to meet with elected officials to discuss regulatory issues that concern not only the tile roofing industry, but the roofing industry as a whole.

Featured Meeting:

TRIA President Rick Olson with Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer

NRCA set up a meeting for a small group with Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer,  which included the NRCA Chairman, Chairman elect and Roofers Coffee House (also from Oregon).

As Madam Secretary is from Oregon, TRIA President Rick Olson (Oregon) was invited to attend and speak to manufacturing. They discussed the effects of lack of training for trades, tariffs, immigration, and lack workforce to meet current projects. They also touched on regulatory challenges including, OSHA.
