Since 1939 the Connecticut Food Association has been a powerful advocate for the food industry in the state. We are continuously proving to be a dynamic and productive force in the arena of state public policy. The CFA president serves as a source of food industry information for the media, communicating a positive image and unified voice to the press, radio, and television. As a member, you can enjoy one-stop shopping for products and services, legislative and regulatory assistance, insurance needs, networking opportunities and more. The CFA government affairs team is your advocate before the State Legislature, the Governor’s office, and numerous state regulatory and administrative agencies.
With years of experience and relationship building through our contract lobbying firm, Nome Associates, coupled with members personally involved in the lobbying process, the CFA enjoys respect and effective conduits to the legislators on your behalf. Our efforts save you thousands of dollars each year by defeating adverse proposals as well as securing legislation beneficial to the food industry. Our endeavors have included and will continue to embrace issues affecting food safety, workers compensation, business taxation, and the environment.
