Education Advisory Group

The Education Advisory Group is responsible for identifying, recommending and prioritizing topics, areas of focus, potential subject matter experts (SMEs) and presenters to the CREW Network staff. These recommendations help inform the development of high-quality educational programming for all the learning programs offered by CREW Network (in-person, virtual, etc.), including the annual convention. This committee may also be asked to review and provide feedback on proposals received (via a call for proposals, etc.) for various educational programs and/or sessions.

The term of service will be approximately eight months, from October 1, 2026, through May 31, 2027. This workgroup is a great opportunity to volunteer and contribute for those who may not be able to commit to a full committee. It is an excellent micro-volunteering opportunity that will require high-level, pro-active thought leadership to inform innovative industry content and exceptional educational and leadership development programming for our members.

Advisory group members should have the following qualities:

• Expertise and knowledge in a specific area or asset class of commercial real estate (e.g., office, industrial, mixed-use, hospitality, retail, lending, private equity, capital markets, leasing, etc.).

• A network of executive thought-leaders in the industry that can be tapped for speaking opportunities.

• Global perspective and ability to envision sessions that are innovative and forward-looking.

• Ability to participate in five to ten workgroup meetings (virtual) annually.

• Willingness and ability to attend the convention being planned.

The recruitment process for the Education Advisory Group takes place from mid-June to mid-July, with a term of service from Oct. 1, 2026, through May 31, 2027.  The recruitment process for the Education Advisory Group for 2026-27 is now closed.
