What CALR stands for
Professionalism needs participation.
CALR is an association for a highly regulated, high-stakes profession. Its public mission centers on education, professionalism, legislative involvement and constructive relationships with the organizations affected by collateral recovery.
For a working association website, that means helping visitors find credible information, introducing the people serving members and making participation straightforward.
