Regional Development
CRA’s Statewide Regional Development Department strives to build grass-root relationships and membership engagement outside of the designated CRA chapters (Sacramento, Fresno, Orange County, Los Angeles and San Diego) with the goal of increasing CRA membership resources and awareness while providing restaurant-industry support.
The Regional Development Department executes its mission through conducting local informational events and engagement with partnership opportunities while laying the groundwork to build regional alliances that bring together restaurant industry members in support of the voice of our restaurant industry, both on a local level and statewide.
