The Cleaning and Restoration Association held its Northern California Regional Meeting on March 25 in Sacramento, Calif., which was a huge success!

Two years ago, we created the Cleaning and Restoration Association. In those two years we have had over 150 members join the association. CRA has grown because we are listening to what our members have told us about what is most important to them and what training programs they find most beneficial.

We have been listening and responding to our membership about benefits that our members would like to see from the association as well as including more networking opportunities for all CRA members.

Spring is right around the corner, so let’s start the season with new education and more opportunities for advancement. We have selected several willing volunteers to organize and assist in promoting regional quarterly workshops.

The CRA will begin holding its Annual Membership Meeting at the Connections Convention in Las Vegas each year. 

The Cleaning and Restoration Association has come a long way since May 2009. Having 130-plus members join our association in just 19 months is an outstanding achievement.
