The strength of the CFA comes from a proactive government relations program, effective committees and the participation of the industry.

• CFA is an issue driven association.
• Industry executive leaders and technical committees work on issues to represent your interests. 
• Exclusive metal casting industry contact with federal and provincial governments. 
• Governments want to work with industry associations with the ability to present strong analysis and technical data based on industry wide studies.  Lobbying efforts with politicians and senior bureaucrats are more effective when conducted on behalf of a strong  industry representation.  There is an opportunity to influence government policy.

• Annual Meeting and Issues Meetings. 
• Network and exchange information with other industry leaders. 
• Newsletters, issue status, and other relevant information distributed to members.
