Equity and Inclusion Committee
The CREW Chicago E&I Committee is created with the understanding that advancing the power and success of women in commercial real estate must include advancing the power and success of women in underrepresented groups by working to overcome the institutional biases and racism within the commercial real estate industry. We are doing this work by focusing on programming, recruitment and retention, mentoring and sponsorship, internal training, industry assessment and community outreach.
Here are a few of our past events:
February 2024: Black History Month Celebration & Networking Soiree

June 2024: LGBTQ+CREW Pride Month Celebration
