CREW Network has added a chapter in East Tennessee, expanding the organization's presence to 86 chapters and more than 14,000 members globally. Delegates representing CREW Network chapters unanimously voted to add CREW East Tennessee on June 18 at the 2026 CREW Network Spring Leadership Summit in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The new chapter will promote commercial real estate business opportunities for members and provide networking, education, and leadership opportunities throughout the East Tennessee market.

CREW East Tennessee includes members representing a broad range of commercial real estate professions and was formed in less than a year thanks to strong support from the local business community. The chapter completes Tennessee's statewide CREW presence, joining chapters in Nashville and Memphis to serve professionals across East, Middle, and West Tennessee.

"As a recent transplant to beautiful East Tennessee, I was struck by the number of women actively engaged in commercial real estate in all areas," said founding chapter President Kerri A. Kor, Broker and Senior Advisor with LeConte Realty LLC | Commercial. "A driving inspiration for each of us is the strength of will and vision with which women in East Tennessee create success for our clients, our communities, and for each other."

Through this new chapter, women in commercial real estate throughout East Tennessee can expand their professional networks, grow their businesses, and access the many resources and opportunities available through CREW Network.
