CREW Boston, formerly NEWiRE, is pleased to announce that the 2016 CREW Boston Achievement Awards will be held at the Fairmont Copley Plaza in Boston on the evening of Wednesday, April 27, 2016 from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m.  Each year at this special event, CREW Boston is joined by over 350 people from the Greater Boston real estate community to celebrate the professional achievements and public service contributions of some of CREW Boston’s most accomplished members. Again this year, the Awards will not be a sit down dinner but reception style with heavy hors d’oeuvres, stations and an open bar to allow for more networking with the presentation of the awards kicking off the evening’s celebration at 6 p.m. followed by the reception.

Help us honor our outstanding CREW Boston members and showcase these remarkable professionals to the commercial real estate community at the 2016 Achievement Awards. You can nominate yourself or a fellow CREW Boston member for any of the awards. You can also nominate a CREW Boston member with whom you worked on a deal or project, or a project that you feel is worthy of recognition that two or more members were involved in.

What do executive recruiters look for, and how you can be “discovered” for a new career opportunity? CREW Network’s newest white paper, “Working with Executive Recruiters: Positioning Yourself for Your Next Career Move,” unravels the mystery behind how recruiters work, the qualities being sought for today’s leadership positions, and the ways in which women sometimes work against themselves in the interview setting. 

Welcome back for another exciting year of outstanding programs, networking and professional development. Conceived by a small group of women with a vision in 1982, CREW Boston has grown to an organization with over 500 members that encompasses the full spectrum of commercial real estate disciplines. Click here to log in to CREWbiz and renew your membership today.
