Professional development is one of the unique opportunities our CREW Miami Chapter offers its members. To that end, we will be granting two (2) CREW Miami members a $1,500 award to attend CREW Network’s Spring Leadership Summit in Charlotte, NC on June 20th-21st.

Receive leadership training, expand your business network, and learn skills to advance your career.

CREW Network Leadership Summits are open to all CREW Network chapter leaders and members who want to increase their abilities as board leaders as well as advance their careers through leadership development workshops. This multifaceted meeting brings together 400+ CREW leaders to learn from one another about chapter management, but also to learn from leading experts about the critical leadership skills that give you the business advantage. Chapter delegates are required to participate, and all members are welcome to join us for this exceptional learning opportunity. Learn more about the Summit at:
