In Memory of Mike Rogers

In December 2018, the building performance industry lost a dear friend. We are paying tribute to one of our most tireless advocates and greatest contributors to the home performance industry by establishing the Mike Rogers Memorial Scholarship Fund. Mike was passionate about establishing a strong, diverse, and qualified workforce.
