  2023 is North Carolina’s “Year of the Trail”! Our CREW Charlotte April meeting is looking at this from a developer and amenities perspective. Trails and greenways are the #1 most requested amenity in Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, and have a similarly high profile around the US.  The Carolina Thread Trail is building a 1,600 mile network of trails in our region and developers like Colliers are capitalizing on this.   Join us to hear from this engaging panel of Bart Landess of the Catawba Lands Conservancy and Carolina Thread Trail, Kim Kendall of Colliers, and Alice Benner and Todd Spitzer from Bamboo Equity Partners. They will be updating us on the progress of the trails, greenways and a featured development. Creekside @ The Greenway is taking advantage of McAlpine Creek Greenway adjacency while prioritizing health and personal comfort, in a creative work-play community.     Byron's 11:15 a.m. - Networking 11:45 a.m. - Luncheon Meeting $55 Members/$80 Guests     Thank You to Our April Luncheon Sponsors

Join CREW Charlotte for our 2023 Emerging Leaders Event - Women & Investing: Take control of your financial future by planning now! This event is intended for CRE professionals who are 35 years old and under. On average, women earn less over time than men.  This causes the median retirement income of women to be 60% of that for men. Saving early is very valuable and can increase a woman’s chances of having enough to last through her retirement years. Statistically, women outlive men and need a larger nest egg to cover longevity.  They are also more likely to spend their last years alone. When it comes to retirement goals - Women are usually caregivers and don’t invest as much as men. Women are more likely to become single parents earlier in life.  Expenses associated with this need to be considered for successful financial planning. If your employer does not offer a retirement savings plan, save in an individual retirement account and perhaps in after-tax accounts. Safeguard your own needs before deciding to help other family members financially.   Speakers Meaghan GrossBank of America Brenda MillardBank of America Merrill Lynch Taleshia SmithBank of America               Since this event is complimentary, please consider a donation to CREW Network Foundation.

When donating in support of their mission, you may choose to dedicate your gift towards a specific scholarship fund, industry research, or career outreach efforts.
