The Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Association (ICRA) has agreed to a long-term management contract with Meetings and Events, LLC from Denver Colorado. The contract was effective March 15, 2012. The non-profit corporation started operations this week and six national and regional associations have signed agreements to join the new Association.

Larry Cooper will serve as Executive Director and will be responsible for the daily business operations for ICRA. Jillian Olson will serve as the Membership Director and oversee member services, electronic media, communications and scheduling for the regions.

ICRA will operate from eight regions throughout North America. There are currently over 820 members of the newly formed organization.

Cooper will focus his efforts on adding member benefits and growing the existing regions while expanding ICRA’s advanced education and consumer marketing offerings to the members in.

A website, www.icrassociation.org, will launch soon.
