CCA's Constitution states: "The purposes of the Council shall be to enhance the missions and to facilitate the activities of its member associations, to advocate for the welfare and promote the understanding and advancement of communication, domestically and internationally, as academic and professional fields."[3]

Patrice Buzzanell et al describe CCA as "an example of an umbrella association that serves regional, specifically North American, interests but that may serve much broader constituencies" [4]

In 2010, CCA established the Center for Intercultural Dialogue.[5][6][7] "The Center approaches ICD at two levels: encouraging research on the topic, but also bringing international scholars together in shared dialogue about their work" [8]
