FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

ARE CRA ACTIVITIES OPEN TO THE PUBLIC?
Many are. Some, such as our annual members meeting, summer outdoor barbeque, CRA Dines Out! restaurant dinners and annual holiday party, are limited to members and their invited guests.

HOW OFTEN DO MEMBERS MEET AND SOCIALIZE WITH OTHER MEMBERS?
The activities mentioned above all offer opportunities to meet other members and our bimonthly meetings on timely topics also include time to socialize with some wine. We have also initiated informal Happy Hours on a monthly basis and fun Breakers Gatherings at member's homes.

DOES THE CRA ENDORSE POLITICAL CANDIDATES OR SPONSOR CANDIDATES FOR PUBLIC OFFICE?
The CRA can, and has in the past, endorsed or sponsored candidates for public office, and taken positions on ballot measures, when the CRA Board of Directors chooses to do so. We have not done so recently.

IS THE CRA ASSOCIATED WITH AN ORGANIZED POLITICAL PARTY?
No. The CRA is a non-partisan Association.

HOW IS THE CRA ITSELF GOVERNED?
The organization is led by a 15-member board of directors elected by the members. The board, in turn, is led by four elected officers: president, vice president, treasurer and secretary. Board members serve three-year terms. We are always looking for and encourage members to serve on the board.
