Government Affairs

One of the most important roles of the Connecticut Restaurant Association is maintaining a vibrant presence at the Connecticut State Capitol. Being at the forefront of the legislative agenda is crucial to the success and growth of our industry.
​
The Connecticut General Assembly meets annually to debate and pass new legislation. Being at the forefront of what’s happening at the State Capitol is crucial to the success and growth of our industry. A vigilant government affairs strategy helps our industry push for relief from burdensome laws and mandates, helping members to focus on what they do best: running vibrant local businesses that employ tens of thousands of state residents.  

We urge all of our members to take an active role in Government Affairs. Please consider getting involved by serving on the Government Affairs Committee and contacting elected officials when key legislation is pending.

​Contact
 info@ctrestaurant.org to learn more, and so that we can include you on all legislative email updates, invite you to participate in legislative meetings, and more.
