RCI, Incorporated is an international association of professional consultants, architects, and engineers who specialize in the specification and design of roofing, waterproofing and building envelope systems.

Since 1983 RCI members have offered unbiased design, repair planning, quality observance, legal testimony, and general roof management services. In March of 2006, RCI (formerly Roof Consultants Institute) expanded its mission and service scope to include waterproofing and the building envelope. This action reflects the understanding that roofing issues often influence the entire building envelope. It was discovered that in increasing frequency, RCI members are called upon to address building-wide concerns from below-grade to rooftop.

The Registered Roof Consultant (RRC), Registered Waterproofing Consultant (RWC) and Registered Roof Observer (RRO) programs distinguish professionals with the proven standards of education, experience and ethics.

President's Message

An extremely belated Happy New Year!

As I was preparing to take the reins of the chapter from the very able hands of now Past President Mike Clark, I was advised by wise and sage council that an effective leader has his goals set before he takes leadership. During the RCI Leadership Council in North Carolina last year, I decide that my goal for my Chapter Presidency was to consistently provide educational opportunities to our membership.

Via chapter sponsored RCI Educational Classes, Educational Lunches, and partnerships with BEC and other like minded trade organizations, I believe that GARCI can provided its membership with a meaningful educational experience. I don’t want the educational programs and seminars to be just a means for members to obtain CEU’s or LU’s, but rather deepen our member’s knowledge and enlighten each and every one of us about events and subjects that are vital to our industry.

Please take a moment and note our calendar here at the website. The program luncheons have been scheduled for the year, as have the chapter sponsored classes and the Annual GARCI Golf Tourney. We look forward to adding additional information to the calendar throughout the year.

I encourage you to bookmark our website now, as this will be the primary source for chapter information in the next year.

On a personal note, I have been honored to witness, up close and personal, the RCI National President in action for the past year. He has done a wonderful job as president and I can honestly say he worked tirelessly for the benefit of his membership as well as for the benefit of the Chapters across the country and Canada. If you see him at the RCI National convention or at a local meeting or event, shake his hand and be sure to tell him “Thank You”… he deserves it.

Until next time,
Eric Downey, RRO CDT
