Report of Directors

CREW Members, Sponsors, and Supporters,

As 2021 draws to a close I reflect on the year it’s been. 2020 was a global “life-quake”. Our

perseverance both personally and professionally was tested. 2021 was an ambiguous journey to

move the dial back to “normal” life.

It’s with pride that I reflect on the 2021 accomplishments of CREW Vancouver. What a year it’s

been! We’ve collaborated, connected, pivoted, and worked diligently and passionately to further

our mandate of, “accelerating women in Commercial Real Estate.”

The below provides a highlight of our 2021 achievements.

Membership:

We exist to support our approximately 200 members. Our membership team under the direction

of Tina Lu had a banner year.

● Successfully launched the inaugural year of the CREW Vancouver Leadership Awards,

which recognizes and celebrates extraordinary leadership and success in the Vancouver

commercial real estate community. This year’s award ceremony was held on October 6th

at the Vancouver Club, jointly with our annual member appreciation event. The three

award categories and recipients are as followed:

○ Diana Lam, Rising Star – given to a member who has worked in the commercial

real estate industry for less than ten years and has distinguished themself amongst

their peers by making meaningful professional contributions that are outstanding

and unique

○ Regina Marklund, Woman of Influence – recognizes an experienced member who

has distinguished themself through leadership qualities, achievements and

commitments to their career, industry, and community at large

○ Gayle Hunter, Tribute – board selection award presented to a member of the

Vancouver Real Estate industry who has been instrumental in supporting the

growth and advancement of women in the industry.

● Revamped our members only Lunch and & Learn to focus on skill building seminars

facilitated by topic experts as guest speakers. Topics this year included:

○ Shine Online - How to Elevate Meeting Efficiency

○ Fundamentals of Leading Change

○ From Difficult to Effective Conversations

● Relaunched the New Members Breakfast and delivered three sessions virtually. Breakfast

goodies from Body Energy Club were delivered by Uber to each of our new members for a

joint virtual cheers and networking.

● Introduced a new member only networking series, CREW Community Connections. This is

a focused and intimate networking series designed to promote meaningful connections

between CREW Members within specific areas of the commercial real estate industry.

Topic of focus this year included: Acquisition and Disposition, Interior Design and Asset

and Property Management.

Stakeholder Relations:

Under the direction of Lauren Mackinnon, the Stakeholder Relations team expanded their

mandate and accomplished the following:

● Established IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity + Allyship) Subcommittee. The committee

formulated an IDEA Mandate document with a mission + initiatives the committee will

implement on an ongoing basis; the chair of the committee attended specific DEI training

to increase our overall knowledge of DEI and systemic discrimination, the committee is

creating resources for CREW members in the hopes of being an industry leader providing

DEI information + training, the committee has conducted a review of CREW portfolios and

generated a list of actions for each specific DEI category that are being implemented

ongoing.

● Created a new Volunteer + Board Director Application form, also introduced a Volunteer

Commitment Agreement to solidify commitment from committee members.

● Established a more robust Volunteer Appreciation Event; next year, a portion of these

awards are to be included in our CREW Leadership Awards event.

Events:

Under the direction of Karena Selnar and Maryam Bagheri, our Events team worked tirelessly to

create meaningful events that offered tremendous value to our membership and CREW

Community. The committee goals were to:

● Focus on the individual, both professionally and personally

● Provide value to members at all levels of their career

● Offer CREW Signature events that involve attendees from across the CREW Network

This year allowed the events team to incorporate select in-person events into what had been a

mostly virtual calendar in 2020.

● We kicked off the year with an engaging and interactive virtual workshop on Imposter

Syndrome with a CREW speaker favourite, Allison Kinnear.

● We took our events outside all year through the snow and sun to keep our community

strong and thriving while adhering to provincial guidelines.

○ Snowshoeing adventure on Cypress

○ Whyte Lake hike on the North Shore

○ Outdoor book club in the park in Coal Harbour

○ Vancouver Club Rooftop Mingler

○ Outdoor building tours and community market at Shop the Block in Brentwood

● We are excited to share that we sold out our highly anticipated and memorable golf

tournament at UBC, bringing the community back together on the golf course after a year

hiatus.

● We held a mid-year Economic Overview with Rennie’s Ryan Berlin and CREW

Vancouver’s Past President, Cindy MacMillan of Anthem.

● There were two industry leader events hosted by Chuck We of Hudson Pacific Properties

and CREW Vancouver President-Elect, Lauren MacKinnon of Glotman Simpson.

● We were able to host one of our most popular member events, Portraits and Prosecco,

bringing together 55 members at the Vancouver Club.

● We expanded our member’s access to educational and networking events by partnering

with other Canadian CREW Chapters and like-minded organizations, including a workshop

on financial independence with Trixie Rowein of Raymond James.

● We have collaborated with the membership committee to bring in experts from all areas of

the commercial real estate industry to host round table discussion opportunities around

development, interior design and asset management.

● We will close-out the year with one of our most popular events, the Winter Social, being

hosted at the Vancouver Club on November 25.

Given the ambiguous climate of 2021 I cannot thank the events team enough for their dedication,

commitment, and ability to pivot when required.

Finance & Governance:

Under the direction of Kristen Cheung, our Finance & Governance team worked diligently to

ensure we maintained our strong financial and governance position:

● Despite the ambiguity of 2021 we are on track to meet our budget for this fiscal year.

● Our Director of Finance has worked closely with board members to determine the financial

feasibility of our virtual and in person events, new leadership awards program, website

refresh and leadership and training sessions.

● We continued our timely review of expense claims and monthly financial statements.

● We have been proactively managing, administering our cash reserve, which has allowed

us to show stability through COVID-19.

● Our Governance sub-committee has been in effect for two years and continues to address

issues including:

○ Succession Planning: We establish a more immersive succession planning

process and smooth and thoughtful transition for our Board of Directors, committee

leads, and committee members.

○ Sponsors: We put measures in place to ensure our valued Sponsors have an

optimized sponsorship program in place.

○ Bylaws: We engaged in an extensive by-law review to ensure our policies were up

to date and represented DEI best practices.

the bar and ensured the brand image of CREW Vancouver and our valued communications were

on point.

followers and +225 LinkedIn followers.

This was both a huge accomplishment and undertaking.

Mentorship Program, & Lift As We Rise Campaign

opportunities and exposure to the industry, and to provide value to members through the CREW

Vancouver mentorship program.

● UCREW

○ For increased student outreach, we launched our UCREW student content series

over social media.

providing opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students from UBC, SFU,

awarded to UBC Engineering student Amy Wu.

○ With the support of Education Sponsor Conwest, we spotlighted the inaugural

winners of our joint scholarship at UBC’s Sauder School of Business in honour of

the late Lee Hester. We also hosted the two winners, Jeshin Toor and Claire

Macdonald, at members-only property tours and in an exclusive 1 on 1 with

Conwest COO, Ben Taddei. Winners of the 2021-22 award were selected in late

October and will be announced shortly.

lower mainland.

Sponsorship:

Under the direction of Michelle Yung and Michelle Roundell, our Sponsorship team had another

excellent year:

● With a huge thanks to all our sponsors we are excited to report that we had nearly 100%

return on sponsors for 2021 and new sponsors joining us despite COVID/economic

uncertainty. We thank you all for your support. We could not do what we do without your

generosity.

● With thanks to our Sponsors significant donations were made on behalf of sponsors to

local women's charities, in lieu of a thank you 2020 event.

● We engaged with our sponsors on an ongoing basis and held several meetings to get real-

time feedback on our efforts.

● We saw very successful sponsor engagement during our signature golf tournament.

CREW Foundation:

Under the Direction of our Past President, Cindy MacMillan our chapter was active in the CREW

Foundation’s ‘Lift As We Rise’ campaign which raised over $20,000 for scholarships, and saw

many of our members donate in honour of a leader who championed or inspired them in their

journey through commercial real estate. A donation of $1,000 was made on behalf of the chapter

by Jill Korstorom for her speaking services. The Foundation also published its annual Whitepaper

titled, A Catalyst for Change: COVID-19’s Impact on Women in Commercial Real Estate.

In Closing:

As we close out the year, I must send a special thanks to our volunteers and our sponsors. Our

volunteers are the engine that keeps us going. Our sponsors provide the financial fuel for us to

deliver on our mandate. To both those groups your commitment to CREW Vancouver is

extremely important to us. Thank you tremendously once again for your ongoing support.

While I have a tremendous number of special moments to reflect on over the last year, a highlight

for me was the ability for Canadian CREW Leaders to come together in September to participate

in the CREW Network Convention. Our network is thriving, growing, and continues to bring us

together.

Truly one of the greatest privileges of my life was to lead the CREW Board of Directors for the last

two years. Each of these accomplished women have been personally and professionally

committed to CREW Vancouver and our collective success has been the result.

In 2020 when our fiduciary duty as Board Members was challenged by unexpected global events

each Board member remained committed and served an additional year. Given our continued

ambiguous circumstances, this allowed us to hit the ground running and deliver to our

stakeholders in the most optimized manner.

Thank you to the below listed 2021 Board Members, for your support, encouragement, and

perseverance. We encountered adversity head on and came out stronger than ever together.

collaboration in our collective future.
