Founded in 1950, CPGA is a trade and membership service organization representing propane retailers throughout Colorado. Its primary purpose is to maintain practice standards within the industry, and protect and expand the ability of its members to compete in the industry, according to CPGA.

CPERC also represents the propane industry in Colorado. The purpose of the organization is to establish and facilitate programs to enhance safety, training, research, and development and safety education in the propane industry, CPERC says. It is funded primarily by the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) through PERC’s state rebate program, and all projects funded by CPERC are open to industry members – regardless of their membership to CPERC, the National Propane Gas Association or other membership association.
