Greetings from your Highland Cousins and Allies,
The Clan Ross Association of the United States and the Clan Ross Foundation were reorganized in 2014 and is now a single 501c3 charitable organization; Clan Ross America. This is the result of the choice to merge CRAUS and the Clan Ross Foundation. The Foundation is now called Clan Ross America, while the CRAUS is no longer in existance.
The focus of CRAmerica has been invigorated and expanded to support both Scottish cultural programs and activities that educate about our Clan Ross heritage. Your participation in our activities is eagerly welcomed. Please remember that your membership fee and any cash or in-kind donations should be tax deductable (consult your tax advisor).
Elections are held every 2 years to seat the new Board of CRAmerica for 2-year terms. The CRA Board is currently made up of :
