We are the premiere trade association for the Colorado nonalcoholic beverage industry. We are a 501 (c) (6) nonprofit organization, and we have served the members of the industry and the public for many years.

For many, many years our members have manufactured and distributed carbonated soft drinks, and we were known and recognized as the soft drink industry. But nothing stays the same forever, and our members have developed many new lines of products besides carbonated soft drinks. Our members provide the public with a wide range of nonalcoholic beverages from bottled water to fruit drinks and fruit juices to sports drinks as well as our traditional carbonated soft drinks. New products are under development, and old products are continually being improved. We became the Colorado Beverage Association to better recognize the increasingly diverse nature of our products.

The Colorado Beverage Association is a trade association for the manufacturers, distributors, and suppliers of nonalcoholic beverages, and those persons, organizations and entities that are interested in nonalcoholic beverages. We have three classes of membership: charter members, who are the members that were members upon our incorporation; regular members and associate members. The Board of Directors is developing dues and fee schedules for regular and associate members, and should have that information available by the end of the summer.

Membership in the regular member class is open to those persons, entities and organizations that are interested in and concerned with one or more aspects of manufacturing, distributing, supplying, consulting, educating, or researching nonalcoholic beverages. Regular members are granted full voting privileges, and may serve on the Board of Directors and may chair and be members of any of the Association committees.

Membership in the associate member class is open to those persons, entities and organizations that support the mission and purpose of the Colorado Beverage Association. Associate members are not eligible to vote or serve on the Board of Directors but may serve on and chair Association committees.

Because the interests of the nonalcoholic beverage industry are not confined to a single state, we do not have a Colorado residency requirement as a condition of membership. Any person, organization or entity may belong to the Association no matter where they are geographically located.

If you are interested in becoming a regular or associate member of the Colorado Beverage Association, please contact our executive director for more information. Contact information is included on the Contact Us page.

The mission of the Colorado Beverage Association is to promote a healthy business environment in Colorado and the adjacent region so that the members of the industry can continue to be a strong and vital presence in our communities. The Colorado Beverage Association represents the members of the nonalcoholic beverage industry in their relations with federal, state and local governmental officials and regulatory bodies.

Additionally, the Colorado Beverage Association strives to support the members of the industry in their communities by being a neutral and authoritative source of information about nonalcoholic beverages. This information is of great importance to the public, the media, and community groups.
