List of Chapter Committees
The Member Engagement Committee directs and develops Chapter education and social programs outside of our signature annual events. These strategic visionaries monitor progress, marketing, and promotion of Chapter events, ensuring we align with our strategic growth plan.
The Remodeler of the Year (ROTY) Awards Committee oversees and facilitates the marketing, submission, review, and judging of the ROTY award applications. This Committee also oversees the formal attire, high-octane Awards Annual Gala to present our chapter ROTY awards and President’s awards.
The ROTY Awards Judges are an integral part of the annual awards effort, virtually reviewing and scoring ROTY submissions from other NARI chapters. With a short, typically one-week commitment, judges review and score entries via an online portal and get a sneak-peek into the amazing work being done by fellow remodeling pros nationwide!
