The association's members are organized into two divisions to best serve the individual needs of each end-use market: performance products and vinyl roofing.

In addition to the research, marketing and regulatory activities of each division, CFFA also maintains active committees dedicated to technical and environmental issues, membership, manufacturing and other topics of interest to the industry. Benefits of membership include:

CFFA is governed by a board of trustees, consisting of a representative from each full member company and a trustee representing all associate members. The association meets in full session at least annually, and the divisions and committees meet frequently throughout the year. The board annually elects a president and vice president to oversee association activities.
