RCI - The First Five Years
RCI: The First Five Years details the history of RCI from its earliest days.
Published by the association in 1989, it was written with a chatty, personal flair by RCI’s first executive director, William C. Correll, AIA, FRCI.
Correll takes the reader on an historical tour of RCI, from the spark of an idea in the mind of Robert W. Lyons in 1979, through the first official RCI (then N.A.R.C.S.) organizational meeting in 1981, on to the election of its first officers and the receipt of RCI’s nonprofit organizational charter from the state of North Carolina in May 1983.
Filled with Correll’s observations and amusing antecdotes about the shoestring birth and steady growth of the fledgling association and its founding fathers, the soft-cover booklet includes photos of early officers and lists of committee chairpersons and regional officers. It chronicles the organization’s first board meetings, conventions, and registration examinations and reviews the challenges facing the infant association.
The reader will learn many interesting tidbits about RCI, such as:
- There were more committees than paid RCI members in 1983. - Strictly a volunteer, Correll logged 1,067 hours in 1985 alone for $0. He did not draw a salary until he had worked as a volunteer for over 3 years.
- In 1987, the board of directors actually voted to move RCI headquarters to Dallas, Texas.

RCI Glossary of Roofing Terms, 3rd Edition
RCI's Glossary of Roofing Terms is a compilation of roof-related terms garnered from various industry sources. First published in 1994 and again in 1996, this 2002 version sources terms from those earlier editions, new RCI-member-generated vocabulary, and applicable terms from NRCA's Roofing and Waterproofing Glossary and SPRI's Glossary of Terms Common to the Spray Polyurethane Foam Industry.
The source of the terms used is placed in parenthesis after each term. Where more than one definition is given, the sources' initials are separated by slashes.
The Glossary of Roofing Terms was developed by members of RCI's Publications Committee under the authority of the RCI Board of Directors. This document is intended for use by anyone associated with the industry. Because it is, by definition, a continually evolving and growing document, RCI welcomes contributions in the form of new terms or proposed edits to terms already presented.
