Join CREW Charlotte for the 2026 Speed Mentoring event with women who have paved the way in Charlotte’s commercial real estate. Be prepared to meet with C-Suite executives and real estate leaders as these accomplished mentors bring their unique skills and experience to help you take the next step in your professional journey. Each interaction gives you seven minutes to connect, ask bold questions, and gain fresh insights before moving to the next mentor. It’s all about gaining multiple perspectives in a short, impactful timeframe.   What to Expect: A welcoming, Galentine-themed environment perfect for genuine conversations. Opportunities to speak with several mentors and expand your network. Thoughtful prompts and guidance to help you make the most of your time. Come prepared with questions like: Have you ever been at a crossroads in your career? How did you navigate it? What’s one piece of advice you wish you’d had earlier in your leadership journey? How do you balance your professional success with personal priorities? What’s the biggest challenge you’ve faced as a leader, and how did you overcome it? Encouraging Vulnerability: This is your chance to ask the questions you don’t often feel you can ask. Be open, be curious, and don’t hold back—it’s what makes these conversations truly valuable.   Mentors:                                                                                                                                                   Members: Complimentary Guests:$50     Thank You to Our Sponsor Primary - Color JPG format  

Early due diligence can make or break a project—but key decisions often need to be made long before anyone sets foot on site. Soil conditions, wetlands, endangered species, cultural resources, and other hidden constraints can derail a deal late in the game. Terracon’s Stage 1 assessments and Pivvot technology give you fast, data‑driven site intelligence that goes far beyond a standard desktop review. By identifying risks early, you and your project team can move forward with confidence, reduce costly surprises, and accelerate timelines. In this session, we’ll show how these tools streamline environmental permitting and the due diligence process—helping you protect your projects, your budget, and your schedule.   Price:  Terracon is generously providing lunch for you.
