CREW Iowa

CREW Iowa is dedicated to advancing and empowering all women in commercial real estate.

In 2011, a small group of five women real estate professionals from the Des Moines metro area began to discuss the possibility of forming a formal CREW Network chapter in Iowa. Their belief was that creating a local chapter of the CREW Network would provide real estate women in Iowa a tremendous opportunity for networking, professional growth and education, leadership opportunities, and could potentially even offer scholarship or charitable opportunities.
