“Connecticut's restaurants and hotels are an economic engine - they are the first impression this state makes on everyone who visits, the people who show that Connecticut is welcoming and that there's something worth coming back for.

I congratulate CRHA on this new chapter and look forward to continuing to work with them as they represent an even broader share of the businesses that give our state its indelible character.” - Governor Ned Lamont

The next chapter of the Connecticut Restaurant & Hospitality Association is here!🎉

Today, we are excited to unveil our new brand identity — one that reflects the strength, diversity, and spirit of Connecticut’s hospitality community. After expanding our portfolio to include hotels and lodging earlier this year, it was time for the next step.

This refreshed brand reflects where the CRHA is today and where we’re headed. We’re excited to continue this journey with you.

Every August 31, International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD) brings a global community together to take action on overdose.

For 25 years, International Overdose Awareness Day has brought people together to remember those we’ve lost and to take action to save lives.

Overdose continues to affect every community - yet it can be prevented. By speaking openly, learning from one another, and treating each other with care and respect, we build a world where fewer lives are lost.
