Mentoring Program

Our CREW network provides the connections, resources, and opportunities for women to become more successful in their commercial real estate careers and gain access to business opportunities and career growth. Our dedicated professionals are committed to supporting the career advancement of all who choose this profession. 

Mentorship is critical in helping women prepare for and attain upper-level career positions. According to CREW Network research, CRE women supported by a mentor increased their chances of securing a mid- or top-level management position by 56% vs. those without a mentor. In addition, CREW Network research conducted over the last decade indicates that women consider the lack of a mentor or sponsor as one of their top barriers to advancement in the industry.
