Why Join CREW?

CREW Sacramento is an affiliate organization of CREW Network. Therefore, a member of CREW Sacramento is also a member of CREW Network. This global Network is comprised of 75+ affiliate organizations with a total membership of more than 11,000 CRE professionals.
While the overall purpose and goals of CREW Sacramento reflect those of CREW Network, CREW Sacramento has its own unique structure allowing it to meet the needs of its market and membership. CREW Sacramento uses the CREW Network Qualified Fields of Commercial Real Estate (QFCRE) to guide its membership criteria and experience prerequisite, and determines its own dues, programs and member activities.

CREW Sacramento typically holds a luncheon approximately once a month, and periodically hosts additional professional development and membership drive events as well as an annual golf tournament and awards dinner and ceremony. Members are not required to attend luncheons or events or to dedicate any particular amount of time to CREW Sacramento. We encourage members to get involved on a committee to help maximize your membership experience. Committee participation can vary, but each committee normally has a one-hour meeting or conference call once a month.

Members of CREW Sacramento experience camaraderie with other men and women working within the many areas of Sacramento's commercial real estate community. As part of this group, members are afforded the opportunity to network, build relationships, expand business, and generate business opportunities. Members also have the opportunity to learn through informative luncheons. By participating in CREW Sacramento, members have the opportunity to support other women in our community through our philanthropic efforts.
As a CREW Sacramento member, you also have access to all CREW Network benefits:

• Exclusive access to CREWbiz, an online business networking tool, membership directory, speakers’ directory and personal marketing profile. Your profile on CREWbiz can be used to promote your skills and expertise to our member base of more than 11,000 professionals globally.
