WHO WE ARE. WHAT WE DO. WHY IT MATTERS.
Did You Know? The CRA is a member-based non-profit trade association supporting the restaurant and hospitality industry. Our critical advocacy work and statewide industry representation is made possible by our members who pay annual dues. You can help to support the industry and increase the power of our voice by becoming a CRA member today.
