TOP WAYS FOR MEMBERS TO ENGAGE

Read the “CRN Supplement weekly” member newsletter.

Dropping in member in boxes every Thursday, it’s designed to be a quick read with skimmable headlines and need-to-know updates as well as member community news and notices of educational and networking opportunities. Be sure you “safelist” CRN so the newsletter doesn’t get caught in SPAM and access the archives via the MyCRN member hub

OTHER NOTABLE RESOURCES:


Sign up for a CRN committee. 

Think of CRN committee rosters first as information distribution lists—if you’re not on them, you’re missing out! Sign up via the committee tab via the self-service portal or contact our Membership team to be added to the groups of your choice. Participate as you wish, from simply receiving the email updates, to listening in or contributing to the virtual meetings. From Regulatory Affairs, to Government Relations, and the Communications, Marketing, and Media Outreach committees, to our International ForumSports and Active Nutrition Forum, and ad hoc working groups and task forces, these groups are where our member community discusses the latest issues we face and how to advance our initiatives. They provide opportunities for leadership, professional development, and cross-training. 


Get to know the CRN team and others in the community.

Consider our staff an extension of your own and reach out with questions. You can also connect with others in the CRN member community you may have seen during one of our virtual or in person meetings, or search for specific contacts via the member directory within the self-service portal.


Participate in virtual learning.

Build on your knowledge with convenient webinars and virtual workshops as well as guest presentations during committee calls. View upcoming webinars and access on-demand recordings via the CRN website.


Attend an in-person event.

See our Events and Education feed for the full listing—be sure you are logged in to see members-only offerings. CRN holds member breakfast briefings at ExpoWest and SupplySide West trade shows. In addition, CRN’s board of directors meets quarterly in March, June, September, and December—any CRN member can attend as a guest. In June, CRN’s 2025 annual fly-in, the “Day on the Hill,” will take place June 11 in Washington, and its Legal, Regulatory, and Compliance Forum will be held June 24–26 in New York City. CRN’s signature events, CONVERGENCE ‘25 with Science in Session, WellComms, and Innovation Exchange will take place Oct. 8–10 at the Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis. Learn more: crnusa.org/2025events
