Mentoring Program
Why join?
CREW Denver is proud to continue to offer the CREW Denver Mentor-Mentee Program as a free member benefit to all members. This six month program allows CREW members the opportunity to connect with, and be mentored by, senior industry professionals from all aspects of commercial real estate.

Mentorship is recognized as a critical element to help women prepare for and attain upper-level career positions. According to a CREW Network study, women who were supported by a mentor increased their chances of securing a mid- or top-level management position by 56% vs. those without a mentor.
