About Steep Slope

The purpose of the Steep Slope Committee is to enhance the services that MRCA provides to steep slope contractors and material and service suppliers. This Committee is charged with: identifying potential members in these industry segments; recommending new services, training, or resources needed by the industry; recommending tailored marketing of existing member services to this segment; and incorporating this segment into the 2021 Conference and Expo in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Steep Slope University will host its fourth graduating class in 2021. Each year the attendance at this unique program has increased exponentially! The Committee is planning two full days of programming that will tackle controversial but critical issues that Steep Slope Contractors face every day. The Committee is currently helping to build on the new consumer segment of the MRCA Website and develop on-demand content for contractors on everything from overhead to insurance, sales to subcontracting, and more!
