CREW Charlotte Relaunches Mentor Program

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: JULY 13, 2017

CREW Charlotte Relaunches Mentor Program
For Women In Commercial Real Estate

12-Month Program Focuses On Shared Benefits, Career Gains, Network Building
CHARLOTTE — Madeleine Albright, the first female U.S. Secretary of State, famously said “There is
a special place in hell for women who don't help other women."

She wasn’t talking about CREW Charlotte, but she could have been. Women helping women — in
commercial real estate — is the reason the chapter exists.

The local chapter, founded in 1990, is taking that sentiment to heart with extra vigor by reframing
and relaunching its successful mentor program. The new 12-month program will debut in 2018; applications
for mentors and mentees will be accepted starting Aug. 1.
