Brad Strawbridge Appointed to the RT3 Board of Directors

Capital City Roofing founder and CEO Brad Strawbridge has been appointed to the Board of Directors of the Roofing Technology Think Tank (RT3), the roofing industry's leading technology innovation group. The appointment was announced across three major industry publications. This post is the company-side announcement and a read-through of what the board seat means for Capital City Roofing, the Capital City Roofing Licensing Platform, BuilderLync, and the broader mission.

The announcement

The Roofing Technology Think Tank (RT3) is a group of progressive roofing professionals focused on technology solutions for the roofing industry. The RT3 board supports the organization's mission and leads its efforts to educate contractors and advance technology adoption across the trade. RT3 brings together forward-thinking contractors, manufacturers, and technology companies to drive modernization in an industry that has historically been slow to adopt new tools.

Brad's appointment was covered by three industry publications:

• Roofing Contractor: RT3 Names Brad Strawbridge to Board of Directors
• RoofersCoffeeShop: Roofing Technology Think Tank Announces Brad Strawbridge as New Board Member
• RT3: Roofing Technology Think Tank Announces Brad Strawbridge as New Board Member

What Brad said

"The roofing industry is at a technology inflection point, and most contractors are still watching from the sideline," Brad said in the announcement. "RT3 is the room where that gets changed."

That is not a throwaway quote. Capital City Roofing was built on the premise that technology is not a nice-to-have for contractors. It is the operating system. The AI-driven workflows, the automated follow-up sequences, the instant proposal generation, the real-time financial dashboards -- none of that exists at most roofing companies. RT3 is the organization working to change that across the entire industry, and that is why this board seat matters.

What RT3's executive director said

Karen Edwards, RT3 executive director, said Brad brings both a passion for technology and deep industry experience to the board.

"Brad is bringing his passion for technology and love of the industry to the organization," Edwards said. "We are excited to have him be part of our leadership team."

The board

Brad joins a board that includes President Wendy Marvin of Matrix Roofing and Home Solutions, Treasurer John Kenney of Cotney Consulting Group, Jon Gardner of Owens Corning, Rich Carroll of Carroll Consulting Group, and Jeremy Dickmann of Apollo Primm Commercial Roofing. RT3 also recognized outgoing board member Thomas Basch of Infinity Home Services for his service.

What this means for Capital City Roofing customers

For residential, multifamily, and commercial roofing customers across Greater Atlanta and Greater Nashville, the RT3 board appointment is another layer of third-party validation. It sits in the same category as the Forbes Business Council membership, the Roofing Alliance Guarantor Member designation, the NRCA committee appointments, and the manufacturer certifications: an external body that has evaluated the track record and invited Brad to help lead.

The practical impact is direct. Brad now has a seat at the table where industry-wide standards on technology adoption are being set. The insights, relationships, and best practices that flow from that board room come back to every Capital City Roofing customer through better processes, faster adoption of proven technology, and a deeper network of industry-leading partners.

What this means for Capital City Roofing licensees

For roofing operators on the Capital City Roofing Licensing Platform in Nashville, Charleston, the upcoming Texas markets, and every future region, the RT3 board seat is part of the brand authority the licensee inherits on day one. Licensees do not just inherit a logo and a website. They inherit:

• The full accreditation stack (GAF Master Elite, GAF Commercial Certified, CertainTeed ShingleMaster Premier, GenFlex Commercial Certified, Google Guaranteed, NRCA Member, Roofing Alliance Guarantor, RT3 Board of Directors).
• The Forbes Business Council credential behind the founder.
• The operating system the founder built (now extended to the licensee through BuilderLync, the AI-driven CRM platform).
• The training curriculum (Capital City University) and the standard SOPs.
• The structured marketing playbook, the financial systems, and the back-office shared services.

What this means for BuilderLync

BuilderLync, the AI-driven CRM and operating system Brad co-founded, is the technology layer that proves the thesis RT3 exists to advance. BuilderLync was built inside an operating roofing company by people who had to live with what they shipped. It is the platform every Capital City Roofing licensee runs on, and it is available standalone for any contractor who wants the technology layer without joining the licensing platform.

Brad's RT3 board seat positions BuilderLync at the center of the industry conversation about what contractor technology should actually look like. For contractors evaluating CRM platforms, that matters: the person who built the platform is now helping set the industry-wide standards for technology adoption.
