SUB-COMMITTEES:

U-Mentoring
Co-Chairs:
Karen G. Sugar, CFM CID, Sugar Associates LLC
Deborah A. Ford, Ph.D, University of Baltimore

CREW Baltimore and the University of Baltimore have committed to a partnership pursuant to which a mentoring program is established facilitating mentoring from CREW Baltimore professionals and University of Baltimore students. This sub-committee in conjunction with the full committee will work to recruit additional mentors and facilitate similar programs.

UCREW
Chair: Deborah A. Ford, Ph.D, University of Baltimore

UCREW is a program established by CREW Foundation to foster University Outreach. It is a streamlined, single day, program, pursuant to which University students are given the opportunity to meet with and interview real estate professionals on a one-on-one basis. The UCREW subcommittee will work to recruit a well-rounded variety of real estate professionals to attend this event. In particular, the sub-committee in conjunction with the full committee will be reaching out to some of our "older" more experienced colleagues who may not have the time to carry a committee load, but who would be willing to give up a lunchtime meeting to share their experiences with an enthusiastic student.

Signature Fundraising Event
Co-Chairs:
Karyn Tasker, Reznick Group
Polly Houck, Absolute Service Industries, LLC

This committee will take the lead on a signature event that both raises awareness of and money for CREW Foundation. It may also raise awareness and funds for a local charity, yet to be determined.
