ADVOCACY
Every day, decisions are made at the State Capitol in Hartford that can change the outlook for small business owners throughout Connecticut. Restaurants don’t have time to monitor every debate, discussion and proposal in the State Legislature.
That’s where the CRA government affairs team comes into play. While you are busy building and running a profitable business, our team is hard at work influencing the decisions that ultimately will determine your success. The CRA government affairs team makes certain your business interests are protected every day.

The Connecticut Hospitality Educational Foundation (CHEF), the non-profit arm of the CRA, helps to cultivate the next generation of restaurant and foodservice leaders through programs like ProStart®, a two-year culinary and management program for high school students.
