In Appreciation of Their Outstanding Dedication to Excellence, the Pierce County Roofers Apprenticeship Program Proudly Recognizes...

Apprentice of the Year 2026

Rosalie Binford

When Rosalie chose roofing, she wanted more than a job. She wanted a career that would support her long-term goals. Working for Krueger Sheet Metal while completing the Pierce County Roofers Apprenticeship Program, she gained the training, skills and experience to make that happen. Today she is a journeywoman and a member of Roofers Local 153.

As a woman in a traditionally male-dominated trade, Rosalie has faced her share of doubt. She meets it head-on.

“I know I am not the strongest nor tallest, but I have the same work ethic and skills,” she said. “I overcome these barriers by continuing to show up and proving with action why I am there.”

Her long-term goal is to open her own roofing business.
