From the Desk of the President |
Hello!
We’re keeping the good times rolling over here at CREW Baltimore in 2022 – that’s for sure!
First quarter is a tough quarter to maintain momentum – in my opinion. You’ve got January that feels like its 60 days long, February ends before it really starts, and then in a blink March is here with a time change & wintery-spring weather. These 3 months have proven the strength of our chapter’s members & leadership. We have been operating at high levels within all our committees – and it shows! All while making sure we are holding true to our core missions, strategic plan, & annual theme (Breaking Ground).
To read the progress we've made towards those goals please see the rest of of Kristen's letter here.

State of the State Panel Discussion
Led by Dr. “Toni” Frances Draper, publisher, and CEO of the Afro News and who from this point forward will be known as the Queen of Moderating, we were treated to a wonderful discussion that, despite having to switch to virtual, still gave off the vibe of a cozy fireside chat.

On February 16, 2021 CREWBaltimore in partnership with ULI Baltimore, and sponsored by Bohler, held our first IN PERSON Neighborhood Series program featuring Towson.
"This event was chock full of what CREW Baltimore does best: friendly networking that blends familiar faces with new; relevant, real-time content; opportunities for both personal and professional growth; and live connections with speakers/presenters." -Kat Sabo, Budova Engineering

Kristen Ernst (President), Marie Calabrese (Treasurer) and Christine DiSalvo (Secretary) represented CREWBaltimore at CREW Network's Winter Leadership Summit!
"The Summit was a stronger understanding of the impact CREW can have on my career and the careers of many other women. CREW is about so much more than just networking and business development. The leadership portion of the programming challenged me to think about my career from a fresh perspective." -Marie Calabrese, Gross Mendelsohn & Associates
"The small group activities and breakout sessions were my favorite part of the Leadership Summit because they allowed us to gain insight into the workings of other chapters and provided us with actionable information to bring back to CREWBaltimore."
-Christine DiSalvo, Maryland Financial Advisors, Inc.

"My search for a business attorney in this area could not have been easier. It started – and ended – with CREW Baltimore. Michele Cohen of Miles and Stockbridge has provided stellar service to Budova since the beginning and continues to do so today. She is wicked smart, honest, helpful, and responsive. I don’t speak lawyer language, but I don’t have to worry about it because Michele does an excellent job explaining, clarifying, and dissecting things. I am grateful for that. We trust her completely and always feel good knowing she is part of our team. CREW first!"
