President's Message
Welcome to the Great Lakes Chapter website!

Our fall educational session on October 9th was a “hands on” workshop held at the Roofers Union Local 149 Apprentice Training School in Oak Park, MI. We had our largest group yet at 45 people strong. Many thanks to our presenters and all attendees for their support and participation.
Our last event of the year, the Annual Banquet and Membership Meeting, is scheduled for December 4th at Walnut Creek Country Club in South Lyon, MI. Come relax, reminisce about the Chapter’s accomplishments, and discuss our goals for 2009 and beyond!
Lastly, I would like to state that it’s been a great honor to serve as President of the Great Lakes Chapter in 2008. It’s been a true pleasure and a great experience. Enormous gratitude goes to our present Board for their countless hours of volunteer work to improve our Chapter.
As we continue to grow, explore new opportunities, and set some new targets, volunteers are needed. If you wish to participate, please let me know.
