“We’re excited to have another dynamic lineup of speakers for Best of Success this year,” said Roofing Contractor Publisher Jill Bloom. “Many of the presenters are contractors themselves, speaking on topics that were suggested by people who attended the event last year. The peer-to-peer sharing of ideas is one of the valuable benefits of Best of Success. Contractors not only leave feeling re-energized and passionate about their work — they also leave with a long list of ideas they can implement right away to improve their businesses.”
