Rhode Island Independent Contractors and Associates was formed in December of 1980 in an effort to represent independent contractors within the state of Rhode Island and keep them abreast of legislation that would affect them and their business interests.

By the end of 1981, the association boasted 275 members. Since then, the association has continued to grow, exerting a strong influence on the legislature relative to contractor issues.

Why should YOU join RIICA? With the hard work, determination and ambition of our membership, we can set and meet realistic goals that will have a major impact on the interests of independent contractors in Rhode Island.
