RCASF’s Educational Training Day: A Huge Success Lisa Pate, FRSA Executive Director At the end of February, the Roofing Contractors Association of South Florida (RCASF) held their first annual educational training day at SOPREMA’s Pompano Beach training facility. There were 256 attendees, which included company owners, supervisors, foremen and workers. Attendees broke up into groups and rotated through various training stations. You could feel the positive energy in the rooms as hands-on demonstrations took place on best safety practices: controlling jobsite hazards, modified installation and torching, liquid-applied roofing, single-ply transitions to steep-slope and rhino-bond best practices. In addition to training sessions, there were tabletop displays from vendors, including FRSA. This gave us an opportunity to support the RCASF Affiliate and to meet members and perspective members while sharing benefits and program information. Although this was their first training day, our RCASF Board of Directors and Committee members performed like pros. Congratulations to Tamara Chase, Jose 30
