CREW Dallas

What CREW Dallas does

CREW Dallas is the Dallas-Fort Worth local chapter of Commercial Real Estate Women (CREW) Network, a 501(c)(3) affiliated nonprofit founded in 1980 that operates a membership-based professional networking platform for women working in commercial real estate. The chapter serves approximately 300+ members spanning more than 50 CRE disciplines and grants access to a global network of 15,000+ professionals across 80+ chapters through the CREWbiz online directory and iOS/Android mobile apps. Members are organized into eight pricing tiers ranging from Undergraduate Student ($145/year) and Graduate Student ($235) up through Associate ($375), Full ($645), Legacy ($325), Cornerstone ($1,750), Affiliate ($2,500 capped at 25% of membership), and the freemium Voice Alliance Cohort for women of color.

The core technology stack is CREWbiz, a web-based member directory and referral platform searchable by expertise, sector, and chapter, integrated with a CREW Network mobile app that supports event registration, member messaging, and Foundation donations. Programming comprises recurring monthly industry luncheons (120-140 attendees), the IMPACT Luncheon, Golf Classic at PGA Frisco, Holiday Awards Luncheon, and the biennial CREW Dallas Leadership Institute co-developed with SMU Cox School of Business. Career outreach extends to high schools and 9 regional universities through the CREW Careers and UCREW Ambassador programs.

Revenue is generated from four streams: tiered membership dues (subscription), multi-tier corporate sponsorships (Amazon and Mechanical & Plumbing Systems at Presenting, plus Diamond, Platinum, Gold, and Silver tiers), event registration and ticketing, and charitable donations channeled through the affiliated CREW in the Community (CIC) 501(c)(3). Distribution combines direct online application (Formstack), in-person and virtual events across DFW, self-serve digital access via CREWbiz/app, and recruitment partnerships with BisNow and Connect Texas Multi-Family.
