The CRA & CRF team is composed of association and industry professionals who are wholly dedicated to supporting Colorado’s restaurant community through advocacy, member resources, communication, and, quite often (and with great pleasure), dining in Centennial State restaurants.
Reach out any time at info@corestaurant.org or get in touch with a specific member of the team through the information below.
NOTE: The CRA/F office phone system is currently down so please direct all outreach to our main phone line (not personal extensions!) at 303-830-2972.
