Arizona Roofing Contractors Association

What Arizona Roofing Contractors Association does

The Arizona Roofing Contractors Association (ARCA) is a nonprofit trade association founded in 1969 through the merger of the Central Arizona Roofing Contractors Association and the Tucson Roofing Contractors Association, headquartered at 3839 N. 3rd Street, Suite 106, Phoenix, Arizona. ARCA unites licensed roofing contractors, manufacturers, distributors, and service providers across Arizona under a shared Code of Ethics, serving 250+ members through advocacy representation at the Arizona Registrar of Contractors, the State Contractors Coalition, and the state legislature.

The association's core offering is a membership-based service bundle rather than a commercial product: it delivers free safety training (OSHA 10/30, fall protection, forklift, CPR/AED), ARCA Academy technical classes, NRCA professional certification support, legislative advocacy, networking events (golf, bowling, sporting clays, 4x4 poker runs), a consumer-facing Find a Contractor directory, and the annual ARCA Roofing Expo — now in its 57th edition. Underlying technology is limited to Novi AMS (association management software) for member directories, event registration, sponsorship tiers, and communications; ARCA builds no proprietary technology products.

ARCA's revenue model is subscription-recurring at its core, with annual membership dues at $525 for both Contractor and Associate members and four-tier sponsorship packages (Platinum $5,000, Gold $3,750, Silver $2,500, Bronze $1,000) that include membership renewal. Transaction-fee revenue is generated from paid training events (e.g., NRCA Foreman Management Training at $695 for non-members) and charity event fundraising benefiting the Arizona Roofing Industry Foundation (ARIF) scholarship program. The association is led by Executive Director Laura N. Schweikert, with strategic direction provided by a member-elected Board of Directors.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC): ABC is a national construction trade association with a multi-chapter model offering training, certifications, advocacy, and networking that overlaps with ARCA's offerings for the broader commercial construction ecosystem, not just roofing.
• National Association of Home Builders (NAHB): NAHB is the largest national trade association for the residential construction industry, with state and local HBAs (including the Home Builders Association of Central Arizona) operating similarly to ARCA — same dues/sponsorship/event model applied to builders rather than roofers.

Direct peers

• National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA): NRCA is the national-level roofing trade association and ARCA's named parent/affiliate body. ARCA offers NRCA certifications (Foreman PROCertification, Field Leadership Training) at member rates, making NRCA the closest comparable as both an upstream umbrella and a direct peer serving overlapping audiences (contractors, manufacturers, training).
• Western States Roofing Contractors Association (WSRCA): WSRCA is ARCA's regional affiliate covering western U.S. roofing contractors, with a comparable mix of membership dues, sponsorships, training, conventions, and advocacy — directly comparable in business model and audience to ARCA.
• Texas Roofing Contractors Association (TRCA): TRCA is a state-level roofing trade association serving Texas contractors with similar dues-based membership, an annual convention/expo, training programs, and legislative advocacy — structurally identical to ARCA's model.
• California Roofing Contractors Association (CRCA): CRCA is a state-level roofing trade association operating in California with analogous revenue streams (dues, sponsorships, annual expo, training, advocacy). It is the most directly comparable state-level peer in scale and operating model to ARCA.
• Carolinas Roofing Association (CRA): CRA is a regional roofing trade association serving the Carolinas with comparable membership tiers, training, advocacy, and an annual expo. It mirrors ARCA's value proposition at a smaller regional scale.
• Florida Roofing and Sheet Metal Contractors Association (FRSA): FRSA is a state-level roofing trade association with a 100+ year history operating dues, sponsorships, an annual convention/expo, training, scholarships, and a foundation — the closest southern-state analogue to ARCA's full-stack association model.
• Midwest Roofing Contractors Association (MRCA): MRCA is a regional roofing association delivering technical training, conventions, and advocacy to contractors across multiple Midwestern states. Like ARCA, it depends on membership dues, sponsorships, and an annual convention as primary revenue.

Others

• Roofing Industry Educational Institute (RIEI): RIEI is an educational nonprofit serving the roofing industry with training programs and curriculum development — adjacent to ARCA's ARCA Academy training pillar but specialized in education rather than full association services.
