The Los Angeles dining scene is a vibrant tapestry of culinary diversity, reflecting the city’s rich cultural melting pot. From the trendy neighborhoods of West Hollywood to the iconic streets of Downtown LA, the city boasts an eclectic array of restaurants that cater to every palate. Protecting this valuable asset is the highest priority of the CRA Los Angeles chapter. The chapter connects members at the local level for networking, education, and to develop relationships with local government and monitor regulatory changes. Join like-minded professionals in your community to connect, collaborate, and share valuable insights.

The CRA Los Angeles chapter has an assertive and proactive local political action committee that works to support and elect officials who are supportive of or open-minded towards the top policy issues affecting all restaurants. The chapter supports all restaurateurs- and to that end- help us continue the diligent work on behalf of the industry. Join the CRA and contribute to the PAC today – the strength of the industry depends on support.
