CREWspective

CREW Boston is comprised of a group of the most talented women in CRE who are dedicated to supporting one another. - Smriti Choudhury, Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C

I was a member of the team that was awarded the prestigious CREW Boston Networking Award in 2019. I was unaware of the silent impacts this recognition would have on my career as I began to connect with Boston industry leaders who recognized me as part of the One Dalton project team because of the visibility and platform provided by the CREW Boston Networking Award.

You get out of a CREW Boston Membership what you put in. Join committees and attend the superb programs. - Gayle Bourdeau, Land Services USA, LLC

My 20 plus years of being a CREW Member has had the most significant impact on my career…. CREW has provided business connections, professional growth, leadership opportunities, and personal friendships. I know that my CREW has my back!
