Due to the public health and safety concerns relating to the coronavirus pandemic, and to support the health and safety of our members, Notice is Hereby Given that the election of the nominees to the Board of Directors has been changed to a virtual-only meeting format. This means that members will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person. The Annual Meeting will continue to be held on Thursday, June 11, 2020 at 12:00 PM Eastern, as previously announced. All members should register for the Annual Meeting by clicking here.

CREW Network has held a number of Virtual Conversation Corner's from "Understanding an Economy in Crisis" with Spency Levy to "Rent Abatement Strategies" to "Global Health Crisis Delivers Unprecedented Headwinds - WIll Stimulus Save Us?" with Hessam Nadjii and members have access to all the recordings by logging into CREW Network Open Forum by clicking here.

As the world is battling the Coronavirus our sympathy and hearts are with everyone who has been affected. For that reason we have decided to extend the deadline to apply for the 2020-2021 Board of Directors to Friday, April 24, 2020. More details are below.  
 
Our member’s health and safety is our first priority and we want everyone to have the time needed to apply for the Board. We are in this together and we will come out of this on the other side even stronger, and we hope you will consider being a part of shaping CREW’s future.

The Nominating Committee is seeking candidates for the 2020 - 2021 CREW Boston Board of Directors. Nominations will be presented to our membership for confirmation at the Annual Meeting on June 11, 2020. In addition, the Board of Directors is again accepting nominations from any current or past Board Member interested in serving as the 2021 - 2022 President, which will include serving as President-Elect for 2020 - 2021.

While the COVID-19 pandemic is a dynamic and evolving situation, the CREW Boston Board of Directors has been actively monitoring the situation with our sole focus on the health and well-being of our members. As a result, we have made the decision to postpone all CREW Boston events and all of our Committee meetings will be done via conference call, or Zoom at least through April 30th or until it is safe again to hold events/meetings again. We did not come to this decision lightly because there is so much excitement around the awards, but our members are our first priority and we want everyone to attend the event at a time when we can be assured of the health and safety of our colleagues and family.

CREW Boston is pleased to announce that the 2020 CREW Boston Achievement Awards will be held at the Fairmont Copley Plaza in Boston on the evening of Tuesday, April 28, 2020 from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m.  Each year at this special event, CREW Boston is joined by over 300 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. 

Brand is not about the look of a logo or the words; it’s about how the brand makes us feel.  With CREW Network's monumental 30th anniversary celebrated at the 2019 Convention, the Network felt it was time for a change and unveiled a new brand and logo, to tell their story and carry us into the future. Understanding the strength of the chapter in Boston and the impact CREW Network has on the industry, at CREW Boston's November Luncheon Program, CREW Boston unveiled the adoption of CREW's new brand to create one unified brand as we are stronger together.
 
This fresh look and new visual identity represent the bold organization we are. It is modern, polish and sophisticated. It is professional and prominent. This logo will stand out as a statement to our intentional commitment to transform the commercial real estate industry.

Help us honor our outstanding CREW Boston members and showcase these remarkable professionals to the commercial real estate community at the 2020 Achievement Awards on April 29, 2020. Members can apply themselves or nominate another member or members for the Esprit de Coeur, Entrepreneur, Professional Service, Suzanne King Public Service or Networking Awards.

Deadline is Monday, December 2, 2019.

Members interested in participating in the 2019 CREW Boston Mentor Program have the opportunity to apply to be a mentor or mentee through Friday, November 1st. Matches will be made in November/December with the kick-off lunch on January 9, 2020.
