Twelve CREW Boston members headed south to Charlotte for CREW Network’s Leadership Summit on June 20-21, 2024. The Boston delegation networked with members from around the globe over many productive meetings. Members of the Boston team shared best practices regarding member and sponsor retention and other issues with fellow chapters in Presidents’, Network Board, Foundation Board and Delegate breakout sessions and made new connections at Dine-Arounds. It was also a great opportunity to catch up with each other over meals and socializing at Charlottes wonderful restaurants and rooftop lounges.
CREW Network’s President Karen Whitt of Colliers International kicked off the Summit and welcomed Northwest Arkansas and Memphis as the 82
nd and 83
rd chapters. The Leadership Training component of the Summit focused on how to have Difficult Conversations. Attendees heard from two amazing speakers – Maria Moss, a Master Trainer of Crucial Conversations at Phoenix Leadership Solutions, and AmyK Hutchens, a globally-renown executive coach from AmyK International, Inc. Both women shared the importance of having crucial conversations to unlock individual and organizational success. They also identified strategies for initiating and navigating successful conversations.
