Continuing Involvement
Continuing Involvement Requirement for Members
The CRA Board continually seeks ways to enhance the value and benefits of CRA membership. Consistent with our Mission Statement, the Board encourages active participation in promoting the ethics, education, and image of the roofing industry in our state through member meetings and actions. To support this, the Continuing Involvement Requirement for Members (CIUs) was introduced in 2017, aiming to increase member engagement in association activities.
CRA recognizes the importance of continuing education in advancing and improving our profession. CRA CIUs help members stay up-to-date, master new knowledge and skills, plan for the future, and responsibly fulfill their role in the community and the roofing industry in Colorado. To remain in good standing, CRA members will be required to submit 8 CIUs between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2025, for their company’s renewal in 2026 and annually thereafter. This requirement applies to all current and new contractor members. Associate members are exempt from the CIU requirement but are encouraged to participate for their personal and professional benefit. Records will be maintained for all members.
Note: Contractor Members can also check your CIU Status at any time by going to the Contractor Member Directory Search. Your current CIU’s are listed right on your company profile page.
How to earn CIUs
Continuing Involvement credits must be earned through CRA-approved activities, including seminars, workshops, trainings, events, and other learning formats. Credits are calculated per individual and then totaled for each company.
