OUR MISSION STATEMENT
The Connecticut Car wash Association (CCA) is a member-driven association. It exists solely to serve members’ needs, protect members’ best interests, and to be responsive to members’ requests. The list of tangible CCA membership benefits is long (and growing), but the list of intangible benefits is even longer.
How can you put a price tag on the camaraderie you enjoy with your industry peers? How can you place a value on having the ability to make connections on a regular basis with other car wash operators who can help you through tough times? What price would you be willing to pay to have the chance to learn from our industry’s most successful operators? Stay active in your local industry trade association.
