In response to inquiries regarding the recent executive orders in the United States relating to diversity, equity, and inclusion:
The Board of Directors discussed recent United States policy developments at its February 2025 meeting. The result of those discussions was a consensus that CREW should reaffirm its historical and central commitments. CREW Network remains steadfast in our mission to advance women in commercial real estate. Our commitment to accelerating success for all women in the global commercial real estate industry will continue to be at the core of who we are and what we do, as it has been for decades.
