Government Relations & Legal 

In addition to a full team of staff ready to assist you, the CRA also engages with professional services firms that are available year-round to assist the association and its members.

Legal Counsel

The complicated regulatory environment that our industry operates within can lead to questions and concerns of all types. CRA’s legal team has extensive knowledge of the changing legal and regulatory landscape impacting our businesses.

Government Relations

Having a voice at the State Capitol, as well as with local elected officials throughout Connecticut, is critical in making sure that our industry is “at the table” where decisions are being made. Our government relations team is monitoring everything going on in government, building relationships with key lawmakers, and shaping policy to improve the landscape for our businesses.

Public Relations

Whether we’re communicating with local media, state lawmakers, or the general public (also known as your customers), it’s critically important that the voice of our industry is clear, consistent, and loud. That’s why we enlist a professional communications firm to make sure our perspective is highlighted consistently in the news media, and that the stories and faces of our local businesses are pushed to the forefront of policy conversations wherever possible.
