In this role, he is dedicated to fostering high-quality educational programs that prepare students for successful careers in construction.

Bill’s passion for education and professional development is evident in his advocacy for continuous learning within the construction sector. He believes that investing in education is crucial for the advancement of the industry and the success of its professionals.
When Bill was at NRCA, he created The Roofing Alliance, a 501 C3 charitable organization supported by members of the roofing industry. This entity desired to establish a relationship with schools of construction management, which led to their involvement with ACCE. It also resulted in offering grants, scholarships, faculty retreats, and an annual student competition. Through Alliance funding, they have been able to develop three courses that are for three semester credit hours each on roofing, available in a digital format at no cost to all ACCE-member institutions. Five years ago, there were zero roofing classes being offered; today, there are roofing classes available in at least seven Construction Management programs.
Under Bill’s leadership, The Roofing Alliance also established a partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities in 2017, whereby they maintain the roofs of the 166 free-standing Ronald McDonald houses in the U.S. They have provided, donated, or discounted new roofs to about 20 houses over the seven years of the partnership.
Additionally, when Bill was at NRCA, he led the effort to restore and replace the portions of the roof of the Pentagon that were damaged during the terrorist attacks of 9/11. He organized donations for the project, including labor from NRCA members from all over the country. The roof was completed ahead of schedule, and NRCA received a unanimous commendation from the US House of Representatives.
In summary, Bill Good's career is characterized by his leadership roles in the National Roofing Alliance and the American Council for Construction Education, as well as his entrepreneurial ventures through William Good Consulting LLC. His efforts to elevate industry standards and promote educational opportunities continue to make a significant impact in the roofing and construction sectors, ensuring a brighter future for the profession.
