Dear CREW Fort Worth Members,
2019 is off to a great start! After years of hosting our luncheons at the Fort Worth Club, the 2018 Board of Directors voted a change of venue making Mopac Event Center our luncheon home for 2019.
With a new venue, comes new challenges and we continue to make adjustments to provide the best experience for members and their guests.
Luncheon topics this first quarter included:
The Programs Committee has done a great job lining up new and interesting topics this year and I know they will continue to bring in great speakers the rest of the year.
Save the Date
for our
Joint Luncheon with CREW Dallas
on
Wednesday, August 14th
!
My personal goal as Chapter President this year is to reinforce our connection with
CREW Network. CREW Fort Worth is one of
75 markets worldwide and our members have access to nearly
12,000 other CRE professionals through the
CREWBiz community. If you haven't had a chance to explore
CREWBiz, please take the time to do so. There are tons of resources and free advice you can gain by using the platform.
If you ever want to learn more about CREW Network or if there isanything CREW Fort Worth can do for you, please do not hesitate to reach out to me personally at
mluera@trademarkproperty.com.
With appreciation,
