What it says it does
The California Resource Management Association was incorporated in 1984. According to the by-laws the purpose of the organization is to "include the promotion of standards of performance and professional conduct, the dissemination of information concerning trade practices, business conditions, technical developments and the advancement of knowledge in all that pertains to the waste and allied industries, and generally through the Association, to advance the mutual benefits of the members." More simply put, our mission is "Working together to improve our industry and the environment." The key component to reaching this goal is the participation of our membership.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.
