Committee members greet monthly luncheon attendees as they arrive, helping people to feel welcome to the organization's meetings and talking with potential new members about CREW Portland. Committee members plan several events throughout the year for its members, including the annual CREW Committee Appreciation Lunch, 2-3 new member lunches, and a member-only event. The committee also focuses on retention by calling it members annually to encourage members to renew their membership in CREW.
Programs CommitteeThe Programs Committee is responsible for all aspects of the luncheon program held on the second Thursday of each month. Committee members research real estate trends locally and globally to choose dynamic speakers with an emphasis on current topics and interesting future developments. Committee members gain additional visibility by introducing speakers or moderating programs.
Sponsorship CommitteeThe Sponsorship Committee implements sponsorship programs for all local events, including monthly luncheon programs and special events. Committee members determine sponsor benefit packages, follow up on solicitation letters and manage the overall sponsorship process.
MarketingMembers of the CREW Portland Marketing Committee volunteer their time organizing and writing articles for the quarterly newsletter publication, working as media liaisons on behalf of CREW for advertising opportunities and publicity, facilitating the membership directory, and by ensuring that the CREW Portland website is kept current. The mission of the Marketing Committee is to promote CREW Portland by increasing professional recognition and awareness within the local commercial real estate industry.
ScholarshipThe Crew Scholarship provides an annual $1000 scholarship to a Portland State University student enrolled in the Graduate Certificate in Real Estate Development program. The scholarship aims to promote students who have an interest in the field of Commercial Real Estate and demonstrated strong scholastic achievements. The goal of CREW is to support and nurture future leaders in the commercial real estate field.
AwardsThe Awards Committee tracks the transactions that are completed by two or more CREW members networking together. CREW members submit on a monthly basis information related to each transaction they complete involving other CREW members. These monthly submissions are used as the basis to determine 3 Annual CREW Awards that are given each year: member of the year, deal of the year, and Networking Award.
Charity CommitteeCommercial Real Estate Women (CREW) Portland believes in supporting the local community by annually selecting a nonprofit organization from the greater Portland metropolitan area to benefit from CREW Portland’s charitable efforts. CREW is happy to announce the nonprofit organization select for 2012 is The Shadow Project. The Shadow Project has reached more than 6,000 students grades K-8 who have disabilities that impact learning, including ADHD, dyslexia, autism, and communications disorders; typically read and write two years below grade level; typically come from low-income homes; are at risk of giving up on school--and themselves. The Shadow Project was inspired by special education teachers, who funded their own token economies in order to prevent the early discouragement that so often portends devastating failure. The Shadow Project turned a teacher strategy into a community-supported program that fosters a love of learning and sense of accomplishment. Students even educate their non-disabled peers.
