The Colorado Restaurant Association (CRA) supports six chapters across the state, as well as two vibrant allied groups: the CRA Chef Alliance and Women in Hospitality. These industry leaders host events and meetings throughout Colorado, fostering connection and deepening relationships for the benefit of all local restaurants and allied partners. We invite you to join our community today!
Colorado Restaurant Association Chapters
The CRA has six chapters across the state, through which members can network, share ideas, focus on local issues, host events and educational programming, and foster a strong community of industry leaders. Chapters work to support important local political initiatives, local schools, charities, and other worthwhile organizations.
Independently governed chapters are located in Denver (the Mile High Chapter), Boulder, Breckenridge, Northern Colorado, Pikes Peak, and Steamboat Springs.
Do you operate in a region without a formal chapter or section? The CRA has you covered with statewide advocacy representation and events strategically focused on restaurant-rich areas.
