Dear Members,
As we head further into 2021 and come upon the end of renewals for CREWNY, I would like to take this opportunity to answer some member questions and provide an overview of the enhanced CREWNY virtual programming that we delivered in 2020 and have planned for 2021.

CREWNY has been planning events designed to enrich your membership experience and to keep you connected and networking during these challenging times and in light of the hardships of this environment. After governmental restrictions were placed on large, in-person gatherings last year, CREWNY decided to offer all programming to members at no cost, regardless of membership level, so as to increase opportunities for members to gain skills, to network and to find support in the community, working diligently to translate member benefits into a digital environment.
We are continuing to provide expanded Premier-level benefits at the lower Basic-level rate, and we will continue this path in 2021, complemented by in-person events, when the City regulations allow.

CREW New York Analyzes the Economic Outlook for 2021 |
|
Even though rising COVID-19 cases in the US are making it difficult to envision a return to normal, the increasing vaccine distributions around the country strengthen expectations of economic resilience for the nation as a whole. But while the national economic recovery appears to be advancing ahead, despite the growing COVID infections, there are several indicators suggesting a slowing economic activity nationally and in New York City. Rebecca Rockey, Economist and Global Head of Forecasting for Cushman & Wakefield, joined members and colleagues of CREW New York on January 21, 2021, to discuss the economic forecast for a year that started in the midst of a pandemic.
In the wake of a strong downturn of the markets, due to the pandemic in early 2020, the past year closed out in record highs, but the US economy and labor markets began to lose steam heading into 2021, with northern states seeing a more notable slowdown.

Building Your Executive Presence with Casey Carpenter |
|
On February 4, Casey Carpenter of Global Public Speaking held an interactive session for CREWNY to demystify the concept of executive presence and broke it down into concrete skills that could apply in real-life situations – virtually or in person.
Casey shared practical, immediately applicable strategies for speaking with confidence, some of which are highlighted below.
-
Content: Use the PREP Framework to speak clearly and concisely.
-
Confidence: Ask ‘Why You?’ before you speak up in a meeting or craft a presentation.
-
Non-Verbal Communication: Speak directly into the camera lens by raising your camera lens to eye level.
-
Voice and Tone: Speak with 100% intention (focused energy).
-
Interaction with Others: Practice mindfulness when meeting with others. Make a list of three words you'd like others to use when describing you. What actions can you take to make those words a reality?
