President's Corner

Michelle Kilby
2016 President
Dear Members,

I've just returned from sunny San Antonio, where I attended the CREW Network Winter Leadership Summit. While there were some great speakers and good learning sessions for those who attended, my proudest moment came when I had the opportunity to hand-deliver a check from CREW DC to Gail Ayers, CEO of CREW Network, in support of the CREW Foundation. Not only did we achieve the second leg of the Chapter Challenge, but we were the FIRST Chapter to accomplish the first leg, having 100% of the Board of Directors give to the CREW Foundation. CREW DC continues to set the bar for achievement, and I could not be more proud to be affiliated with such a great group of women.
 
I hope you'll join me in supporting the Foundation this year - and in furthering opportunities for women in commercial real estate, both here and abroad.
 
We have a great year in store!
 
Yours,

Michelle

  CREWCares: District Alliance for Safe Housing (DASH)

CREWCares is the philanthropic arm of our Chapter and serves women and children in the DC area to meet some of their most critical needs.
 
It's hard to find a spare moment to give of yourself, but we hope you will consider joining us February 10 for our kickoff event with DASH, a safe housing alternative for women and children who are survivors of domestic and sexual abuse.  We'll be decorating cookies and Valentine's treats with the kids of DASH families, and it will be an evening that touches your heart, not just theirs. How perfect for Valentine's Day...
 
Be a part of CREWCares.
