CREW Fort Worth

What CREW Fort Worth does

CREW Fort Worth is a 501(c)(6) non-profit professional membership organization founded in 1985 and headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, serving women in the commercial real estate (CRE) industry across North Texas. The chapter is affiliated with CREW Network, a global organization founded in 1989 that now includes more than 14,000 members across 80+ chapters worldwide. CREW Fort Worth offers six membership tiers (Full Member at $500/year, Pillar at $1,350, Associate at $350, Affiliate at $1,500, Civic at $250, and Student at $250-$300) plus a tiered corporate partnership program with Gold, Silver, and Bronze sponsorship levels.

The chapter's core products and programs include monthly luncheons, dine-arounds, an annual golf tournament, an awards gala, an annual awards program spanning 10 recognition categories, the Carla Higgins Memorial Scholarships, and career outreach programs (CREW Careers for high school girls, UCREW for college students). Its technology backbone is the CREWbiz online community platform provided by CREW Network, which functions as a member directory, referral exchange, and resource center with 5,000+ resources, supplemented by a native CREW Network mobile app on iOS and Android. Members gain access through individual subscriptions; the organization also generates revenue through corporate partnerships (31 active partners as of the latest data), event fees, and a branded merchandise store.

The go-to-market motion is community-led: prospective members must attend at least one event, secure a current-member sponsor, pay a $30 application fee plus annual dues, and the chapter actively recruits through events, referrals, social media, email newsletters, and industry sponsorships such as the Bisnow State of the Market: Tarrant County event. CREW Fort Worth is governed by a Board of Directors including a President, President-Elect, Past President, Treasurer, Secretary, and six Directors, with operational work distributed across seven standing committees (Communications, Membership, Mentorship, Programs, Special Events, Partnership, and Treasury). The organization celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2025 and welcomed 26 new members in Q1 2026.
