Our mission

To build a powerful network of professionals dedicated to the advancement of women in commercial real estate.

Our history

In 1978, a handful of pioneering women realized that in an industry where the man to woman ratio was 100-to-1 and existing real estate organization requirements included being a male, there was an extraordinary need for a forum and meeting place for women commercial real estate professionals. Against great odds, these pioneering women created the first association for women real estate professionals in New York City and the United States.  Today, that organization, now CREW New York, continues to honor its powerful vision and heritage through their unrelenting, multi-faceted support of women in commercial real estate.

Our Initiatives

Business Networking

Facilitating business networking and deal making among our multi-disciplinary membership is the cornerstone of our organization. We deliver impactful networking opportunities including three Leadership Summits and the CREW Network Convention and Marketplace annually. Members also have exclusive access to our CREWbiz technology platform, which serves as a membership directory, resource and referral center, personal marketing tool and app.

Industry Research

CREW Network is the world’s leading researcher on women in commercial real estate. Our industry research produces white papers annually and a benchmark study every five years, delivering data and action items to advance women in commercial real estate and positively impact the industry.

Leadership Development

Building effective leaders is key to advancing the commercial real estate industry. We dedicate significant resources to providing our members with high-level leadership development training and opportunities to serve on global boards and committees to develop and hone applicable leadership skills.

Career Outreach

CREW Network and our Foundation are committed to bringing more women into commercial real estate by creating programs that educate women and girls about the career opportunities available to them, supporting college-level commercial real estate education through scholarships, and providing mentorships to those new to the industry.
