Q: Professionally, what does it mean to you to be a member of AZCREW?
A: I believe that AZCREW is invaluable in enabling real estate professionals to expand their network, listen to top speakers on timely topics, and support the mission of promoting the advancement of women in the commercial real estate industry. My personal involvement — along with the involvement of one of my colleagues — also affords the bank significant visibility within the real estate community. My bank’s annual sponsorship also shows our support for the organization and for our mission.
Q: What about AZCREW do you find to be most rewarding?
A: As I became more actively involved, the rewards increased. I had always enjoyed the monthly luncheon programs and decided to get involved by joining the programs committee. I later became committee chair committee and a board member. Though I’m no longer committee chair, I remain involved and take pride in the fact that the excellent quality of our luncheon programs. In addition, my current role as President Elect has introduced me to the national organization, CREW Network, and even more great CRE professionals across the country.
Q: Was there an “aha moment” when you realized being a member was invaluable?
A: I would say my first ‘aha moment’ goes back to my initial involvement with the programs committee where I felt I could make a positive impact. In that group, I saw firsthand that our members have great contacts within the real estate community and are well informed on a variety of real estate related topics.
