The CREWship program supports industry professionals by fostering meaningful connections and advancing professional development.

Mentor-Mentee relationships promote growth through shared experience, insight and guidance.

The program is uniquely tailored for established professionals with 5+ years of industry experience who are ready to refine their leadership, expand their perspective, and accelerate the next phase of their careers.

MENTEES

Mentees are established professionals seeking strategic guidance from seasoned industry leaders as they navigate the next phase of their careers. Through mentorship, mentees gain perspective, share challenges, and receive thoughtful feedback on leadership development, career direction, and opportunities for advancement or transition within the commercial real estate industry and CREW. This relationship is designed to support long-term growth, broaden perspective, and sharpen professional impact.

MENTORS

Mentors are experienced industry veterans who serve as trusted advisors, offering insight drawn from their professional journeys. Serving as a mentor provides an opportunity to refine leadership and coaching skills, contribute to the development of future leaders, and share expertise in a meaningful, high-impact way. Mentorship is a rewarding experience that strengthens professional legacy, deepens engagement within CREW, and fosters lasting connections.

“The CREW Los Angeles Mentorship Program was a great opportunity for me to reengage with the chapter after a brief hiatus, and to get to know its newest and most dynamic members as a mentor. I hit the jackpot with not one, but two smart, motivated and wonderfully fun mentees – truly I felt like I got more out of engaging with them on their backgrounds, ideas and goals than they might have from me! We discussed the books we were reading, the websites and tools we liked, our work strategies, and long-term business and personal goals. The conversations were always easy and free flowing. I am happy to have participated and would enjoy doing so again in the future.”

Justine Simms Headshot "Participating in CREWship has been one of the most impactful professional experiences in my career. As a mentee, the guidance, perspective, and encouragement I received helped me better define my goals and move forward with greater confidence. As a mentor, I experienced the same sense of growth from giving back - supporting others, sharing lessons learned, and being reminded of the power of intentional connection. CREWship creates meaningful relationships that benefit everyone involved, and the impact extends well beyond the duration of the program."
