Board of Directors

Board/Committee

CREW-LA is managed by a Board of Directors who work together to set and accomplish the chapter’s strategic goals as detailed in the five-year strategic plan.

The CREW Los Angeles leadership team encompasses a talented group of CRE professionals dedicated to the advancement of women in the commercial real estate industry. To become a chapter leader, involvement in a committee is critical. It allows you to meet fellow CREW Los Angeles and CREW Network members, build your network of relationships, learn about local and national CRE industry trends, and understand how CREW Los Angeles contributes to the future of women in commercial real estate.

Below are CREW Los Angeles' board positions. Each is a two-year term, except the President role, which has a three-year term. Along with the coordinating committees, each board function contributes to our chapter’s vitality and overall success.

The President-Elect, President, and Immediate Past President shall each serve one-year terms, totaling three years. The other Directors shall each serve two-year terms, which shall be staggered terms. Membership on the Board of Directors shall be limited to six years in succession (or up to seven consecutive years if three of those years are in the capacities of President-Elect, President, and Immediate Past President).
