Letitia Hanke
ARS Roofing, Gutters, & Solar
Santa Rosa, CA
"Although I am a new member, I have been able to network with other female remodeler contractors which is very valuable for me in so many ways. It’s pretty lonely out here as a female in this male-dominated industry, however it’s been nice to see that there are more females getting into the trades. It’s also been great to network with contractors across the country to see how different we all do things, yet some things are the same. It’s been a great experience."
Recognizes a member’s service at the local and national level, and encourages and thanks young remodeling professionals for their participation in NARI.

NARI has allowed our team to meet great trade partners and find our niche in the industry. We have developed strong relationships with other contractor and associate members who share the same values and beliefs which has only helped strengthen our brand and reputation. Our NARI membership has also provided our team with continual opportunities to give back to our community and share our passion for the trades which is important to our company’s culture. Our NARI membership has also provided us with great networking activities and opportunities for continued education and certifications which allow us the ability to continue building on our skill sets. NARI was a game changer in helping me grow as a leader and build a stronger team."

Jan Burchett
Chapter Executive Director
Kansas City NARI
"Being a chapter executive of the Kansas City NARI chapter for almost 27 years has been, by far, the most rewarding career. Receiving the Mary Busey Harris CAE Professionalism Award was an honor and a nice surprise! Working with remodeling professionals to build and sustain Kansas City NARI has been fun, challenging and has created a lifetime of close friendships and accomplishments. The teamwork of paid staff, local leaders and chapter volunteers has created thousands of successful educational and networking programs for all chapter members."
