  This year’s Henrico Life Ready Expo for students & parents will be in-person on Wednesday, September 17^th from 6:00 – 8:00 PM at Hermitage High School.

  WHAT IS IT:    Henrico’s award-winning Life Ready Expo is a district-wide career exploration event for area students grades 6-12. The Life Ready Expo offers students and their families the opportunity to talk with employers from each of Virginia’s 17 career clusters, and learn about career pathways, educational requirements along with compensation, and future growth in career fields. 

  WHY PARTICIPATE:   The goal of this event is for students to learn about career pathways that interest them, while making connections with businesses and industry leaders. To tackle the growing labor shortage,  students need to be exposed to careers far earlier than their senior year. The Life Ready Expo is an opportunity for businesses and industries to make such connections with students early to build employee capacity for the future. And don’t forget,  junior and senior students attending the event will be looking for opportunities for internships, summer employment, job shadowing experiences, and careers after graduation.

  HOW DO I SIGN UP:   Volunteers who are passionate about promoting roofing as a career are needed to help staff VARP's table at the event.  This is an opportunity to talk with students and parents about the advantages of a career in roofing. 

  Please RSVP to sign up.

  VARP Webinar: Introduction to Automation & AI for Roofing Contractors

  Wednesday, September 24, 2025, 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. ET

  Via Zoom

  Free for Members / $50 Non-Members

  This educational session is designed to help roofing contractors understand how automation and AI-powered tools can streamline operations, reduce missed opportunities, and improve profitability - without adding headcount. Led by The AI Agency USA, the training offers a no-fluff walkthrough of real-world tools already being used in the roofing industry to manage calls, proposals, follow-ups, and more.

  The content is accessible to contractors of all experience levels and is focused on practical strategies—not hype—that support team members and improve customer experience. The session includes live demos, actionable examples, and clear first steps for identifying automation opportunities in a roofing business.

  Co-sponsored by VARP and The AI Agency USA.  Non-sales and non-proprietary, this webinar is free for members and $50 for non-members.  Zoom link will be emailed to you after you register.

  This program qualifies for 1 VARP Accredited Contractor Program credit.

  Presented by:

  

  Eric Branch is Head of Business Development at The AI Agency USA, where he helps businesses reduce missed calls, improve operational efficiency, and increase revenue using practical AI tools. Eric works across industries like home services, healthcare, legal, and real estate—guiding companies through real-world use of voice automation and AI-powered phone agents that sound natural, run 24/7, and integrate with systems like JobNimbus, ServiceTitan, and CRMs. His focus is always human-centric: showing how automation can support staff, not replace them.

  The session is supported by The AI Agency USA, a consulting and implementation firm co-led by Adam Golob, specializing in voice AI, workflow automation, and communication tools for contractors and service-based businesses.
