What an eye-opener attending my first CCDRA workshop was! Although I had been in business since 1996 and had spent significant sums on legal advice, I found my agency was not in compliance with the laws that regulate Domestic Referral Agencies. Thankfully, I immediately joined CCDRA and, with their help, made the necessary changes to be in compliance. I have no doubt that, had I not done so, I would not have passed a recent state audit and would be out of business today!! I encourage all agency owners who want to keep their businesses to attend workshops and to join CCDRA ASAP

CCDRA is the only resource available to obtain all the information necessary to operate in compliance with the laws governing Domestic Referral Agencies in California. The coalition offers a way for me, as a small business owner, to stand together with other agencies to protect our industry and stay current on relative issues.

I'm writing to express how pleased  we are as a member of CCDRA. The help we receive has been extremely beneficial. Being up to date on all rules and regulations of our business is very important and having CCDRA to provide this information has helped us keep business growing. We look forward to continue being a part of the Coalition and working together for a long time.

Given the unique structure of our business models, it is imperative that we work together as a group to insure our members comply with the laws that allow us to operate in California. In addition, in today’s political environment a small business owner must have a voice in Sacramento. The CCDRA gives me that voice and its heard louder and clearer than if I was to speak on my own.

I have been involved since the inception of CCDRA.  I have seen how "grass-roots" efforts of the "Mom & Pop" business have changed the minds of the CA Legislators to allow agencies to operate with the "independent mode”. “Together we make a difference" has been a coined phrase that the CCDRA has adopted and it has proven itself time and time again to be true. CCDRA is the only source of information in the state of CA for the small business person who wants to operate a Domestic Referral Agency correctly.

It is a great organization to be a part of. You get support, assistance, as well as, understand how to be in compliance with all the rules and laws to feel safe to operate your business. It's great to be informed Business owner. I am  so glad that I found CCDRA! Thanks for all the hard work CCDRA provides to its members. In the future I want to be more involved with CCDRA.

I would recommend CCDRA to anyone who is serious about his or her business. The coalition is full of information and always ready to help. I’m a very satisfied member.

CCDRA offers annual workshops that bring us up to date and refreshes us on the existing laws and regulations. I always come out of these workshops with valuable information to manage my business. CCDRA offers a daily connection with the Board, either by phone or email. Information is there “just for the asking”. I feel comfortable managing my business with all the tools that CCDRA offers me. It gives me peace of mind and makes me not afraid of an audit.

CCDRA is a non-profit organization whose main purpose is to ensure the right for the Domestic Referral Agency business model to operate in California. To that end, CCDRA performs good works by strengthening the industry through educational workshops, an informative website, cost sharing of legislative advocates and access to a network of other agency owners. The service that CCDRA provides to members is invaluable. I would encourage all agency owners to join CCDRA to help ensure their own success by learning the state regulatory issues and to be a part CCDRA’s on-going campaign to ensure the right for all to operate under this business model now and in the future.

Being a member of the CCDRA has been extremely helpful for my business. I have had numerous questions about how to handle certain situations and I know I can always count on the board members to lead me in the right direction. All of my questions are answered promptly and professionally. I feel good knowing that I always have a solid sounding board available to me for any good or sticky situations concerning the referral agency business. I also learned a lot at the Workshop last year and will be attending again this year.

There are many reasons I am a member of CCDRA, following are but a few of the most important to my business and me. CCDRA has compiled the current Federal and State laws and regulations that govern our business model. I use this information to guide my business and train my office assistants in the Do’s and Don’ts of the business. CCDRA, along with a legislative lobbyist when needed, monitor Senate and Assembly Bills and with the membership’s help, fight proposed Bills that are sponsored by our competitors that if passed, would greatly hinder our businesses and ultimately “run us out of business”.
