Cornell Roofing & Sheet Metal is honored to be recognized as the 2025 Corporate Citizen of the Year by the Truman Heartland Community Foundation. This award celebrates organizations that demonstrate an unwavering commitment to giving back and building stronger communities, values that have always been at the heart of Cornell Roofing and Sheet Metal’s mission.
For nearly 100 years, Cornell Roofing and Sheet Metal has been more than just a commercial roofing and sheet metal contractor. Under the leadership of Mary McNamara, Owner and CEO for the past 18 years, community service has become deeply woven into the company’s culture. When Mary purchased Cornell Roofing and Sheet Metal, the company had just 26 employees. Today, that number has grown to 115 dedicated professionals, each carrying forward the tradition of excellence and service that defines Cornell Roofing and Sheet Metal.
Mary has long believed that success is measured not only by the quality of work but also by the impact made beyond the job site. Cornell Roofing & Sheet Metal has consistently invested in local initiatives, charitable organizations, and workforce development programs, demonstrating a deep commitment to Eastern Jackson County and the greater Kansas City region.
This recognition from Truman Heartland Community Foundation is a testament to both Mary’s vision and the collective efforts of the Cornell team. By fostering a culture of giving back, Cornell Roofing and Sheet Metal has become a shining example of how business leaders and community members can work together to ensure a brighter future for all.
As we celebrate this honor, Cornell Roofing & Sheet Metal remains steadfast in our mission: delivering quality craftsmanship while strengthening the communities we call home.
