The CREW Atlanta Hall of Fame is to recognize leaders who have gone above and beyond in commercial real estate (CRE) and who are actively building the next generation of women leaders. They are recognized as leaders in the industry locally, nationally or globally. The Hall of Fame inductee must have played a substantial role in CRE while also supporting women in building their careers through mentoring, advising, referring, or engaging in business. Our primary focus is inducting current and past CREW members as well as impactful CRE non-members.
Atlanta has a rich commercial real estate industry filled with a number of unique individuals who took enormous risks to build their brand, reputation and companies. For their contributions and efforts, they deserve to be recognized in a special way and CREW Atlanta has the Hall of Fame to celebrate and honor their efforts. The following qualities are preferred, though not mandatory, when evaluating a candidate for the Hall of Fame:
A currently active or past CREW member or an impactful CRE non-CREW member
