CREW Calgary Call for Nominations 2017 Board of Directors
Friday, Aug 12, 2016
2017 is fast approaching and CREW Calgary is set up for another exciting year of programming and growth! We need a strong and diverse Board of Directors to continue to advance our vision – to be the association of choice in Calgary; to promote and support the advancement of women as leaders across all disciplines of Calgary’s commercial real estate industry.
We are looking for committed, enthusiastic members who have the time to actively participate on the CREW Calgary Board of Directors during the 2017 term (January to December). This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to CREW Calgary and in doing so you will work with other talented people, raise your professional profile and develop your leadership skills. Participation on the Board of Directors also opens up opportunities to be involved in CREW Network Committees and the CREW Network Board, like CREW Calgary’s very own Tara Steell (2016 member of the Nominating Committee) and Gillian Lawrence (2015 member of the Nominating Committee, and Nominee for the 2017 Board of Directors).
ELIGIBILITY:
Eligible nominees must be Principal Members of CREW, preferably with a proven track record as a CREW Calgary committee volunteer or with other Board experience. Provided a member is eligible for nomination, a member may be nominated by another member or a member may nominate herself.
The call for nominations includes the following positions:
• President Elect (must have one year of experience on the CREW Calgary Board)
• Treasurer (financial experience required)
• Secretary
• Four (4) Directors
Position descriptions are linked at the bottom of this page. Each nominee must submit a brief summary of herself which includes the following:
• Summary of education and professional experience in the commercial real estate field
• Why you wish to seek a leadership position with CREW Calgary?
• Involvement to date as a CREW Calgary member (length of membership, committee involvement)
• Benefits of CREW Calgary
• Other relevant experience
