The Gwaltney Family Scholarship

The Gwaltney Family has been an active part of the leadership of the MRCA right up until Kevin’s passing on January 29, 2023. Kevin, Rick, and Mark Gwaltney all stood for education, and they supported elevating the level of professionalism in the roofing industry. They had a strong belief in self-improvement through education and training. In addition, the Gwaltney Family was always a strong supporter of the Annual MRCA Foundation Auction which raises funds for scholarships.

The MRCA Executive Board felt that this dedication needed to be memorialized, and that the best way would be to designate each year one of the MRCA Foundation Scholarships in the name of the Gwaltney Family.

Congratulations to the second recipient of the Gwaltney Family Scholarship:

Ella Miller - Rackley Roofing, Carthage, Tennessee

Congrats to everyone and we hope to see you at the 2024 MRCA Conference & Expo October 21-24, 2024!
