President’s Message

I am so excited and honored to be your CREW Chicago President for 2010 and 2011. I love this great organization and have been an active member for 16 years. I owe the success of my career to many of the women in CREW Chicago and now in CREW Network. Many of my closest friends are members of CREW and now it is time to give back.

First, I want to thank Cindy Wozny-Carl, our recent past president for her commitment and leadership the last two years. These were challenging times, yet with her guidance and the help of the CREW Chicago Board, Committee Chairs, Co-Chairs and member support, our membership is at its all time highest level and the quality of our new members exceeds all our expectations. CREW Chicago raised money at our annual fundraiser, Last Call for Fall and we distributed a total of $9000 to three very qualified young women to help with their advancement in commercial real estate. The accomplishments under her leadership the last two years go on and on and we owe much appreciation to Cindy for her dedication to the success of the CREW Chicago organization. Thanks Cindy. So what’s in store for 2010?
