Why Join the Colorado Placement & Referral Alliance Have you wished for changes to be made in the senior industry and wondered how it could happen? CoPRA is bringing these changes and we’re inviting you to be a part of it! CoPRA Membership provides many benefits: Advocacy for Placement Agents and Senior Living Communities: In our first 2 years, the Government Affairs Committee and our local lobbyist have influenced public policy to protect placement agents, senior living communities, and families. In 2020, we introduced and passed HB 20-1101, a measure that protects seniors and their families’ rights to choose whom they work with for placement. Our efforts changed legislation, giving families the right to choose their placement agent and requiring a signed disclosure confirming families understand how a placement agent is paid. Best Practices: NPRA and CoPRA have established a Code of Ethics and Best Practices that set the standard for placement agents to adopt, adhere and provide the highest level of integrity and service in our industry. Senior living communities and the industry at large recognize that CoPRA agents hold themselves to this higher standard and as a result realize their clients, residents, and families all benefit from working with a CoPRA agent. Education: Educational meetings are provided every other month for our members. These meetings deliver industry specific education that is highly relevant to the operation of your business; content is specifically designed to address the challenges faced by placement agents and senior living communities of all sizes. We utilize the expertise of our members, along with outside experts, to present vital information through panel discussions and speakers. Our members tell us “ the meetings, educational content, and collaboration are outstanding!” Affiliate Members: affiliate members have found this to be an effective way to contribute to the good of the community while increasing their visibility and standing in the industry. General members find value in these connections by building their referral base. National Certification: The Certified Placement and Referral Specialist (CPRS) Certification was developed by the NPRA under the expertise of Professional Testing Inc. in collaboration with industry subject matter experts. The CPRS designation confirms that a placement agent is a recognized expert to families, senior living providers and referral sources. As a CoPRA member, placement agents receive a discounted fee to become a CPRS. Networking & Business Development: Although we are a trade association and not a networking group, opportunities to strengthen alliances, build referral partnerships, and cultivate friendships with like-minded professionals are most definitely benefits!
