CREWspective

The friendships and connections I've made in CREW's Women of Color Group have created a strong sense of community through interactive networking events and meaningful conversations. - Makella Houdagba, Colliers

If you’re looking to build your platform in commercial real estate with the support of career-driven women, engage with CREW Boston. The knowledge, experience, and support you’ll gain will open your eyes to areas of CRE you might not have explored on your own.

CREWspective

More than a network—CREW Boston is a collaboration of women driving change in the built environment. - Abigail Roberts, Turner Construction Company

Beyond the amazing luncheon content, my involvement in CREW Boston’s committees has exceeded expectations. After transitioning to a national sustainability role at Turner, I joined the CREW Sustainability Council—instantly connecting with leaders and changemakers nationwide.
