Happy February to my fellow CREW San Antonio members!   CREW San Antonio is near and dear to my heart as I have grown professionally in large part because of the organization’s values and programs for future leaders. I’ve been involved with the organization for almost 8 years and am so PROUD to lead the chapter in 2020 as your President. 2020 is off to an exciting start and your CREW San Antonio leadership teams on the board and committee chairs all want you to be a part of it to ensure that you get the most of your membership! We are continuously growing in both our membership and in visibility within the San Antonio commercial real estate industry as the premier organization for women in CRE!   In December, we revealed our new logo and colors that align with CREW Network. The adoption of the new refreshed logo is critical in aligning with CREW as an international network. Look out for advertising campaigns in our local media outlets soon. We are excited for this next chapter of CREW San Antonio’s story!

In 2019, we worked diligently to establish a Strategic Plan, guiding us for the next five years as well as a new Mission and Vision Statement for CREW San Antonio.

Thank you for renewing your membership and commitment to CREW San Antonio. We have a year packed with exciting programs including luncheons, tours, networking mixers, and of course our signature educational event Forum and our signature fundraising event CREWtini! View upcoming events here .
