Any member of CREW St. Louis may submit a nomination in this category. The submission should portray a networking experience involving multiple members using the opportunities presented by CREW St. Louis to network and further enhance their careers. Judging criteria will include:
- The number of members involved

- The creativity and complexity of the networking experience
- The resulting level of impact on an individual or business
New Member of the Year
The CREW St. Louis New Member of the Year Award recognizes outstanding involvement and exemplary support by a new member of CREW St. Louis through their contribution to the development of CREW St. Louis and its members. Nominations in this category may only be submitted by a CREW St. Louis Committee Chair or Board Member. The judging criteria will include:
- Must be a “New” member of CREW St. Louis – joined the chapter in 2007 or 2008
- Promoting CREW St. Louis networking benefits and membership opportunities
- Demonstrating continuous and expanding involvement with CREW St. Louis

CREW Mentor of the Year
The CREW St. Louis Mentor of the Year Award honors a member of the CREW St. Louis chapter for outstanding excellence in mentorship and support to CREW Members promoting the spirit of commercial real estate, principals and practices.
All of the stories submitted should reflect how a mentor has made a difference in the life of a mentee.
How will the winner be selected?
All submissions will be reviewed by committee of judges consisting of past CREW St. Louis Presidents and Awards and Recognition Committee members. The ideal award winner will showcase the diversity of CREW St. Louis members’ experience and talents whether by showcasing a premier example of the commercial real estate business in the St. Louis metropolitan marketplace or by showcasing the power of the networking experience CREW St. Louis membership provides. Factors to be given strong consideration by the Judging Committee include (i) the number of CREW members involved; (ii) the number of real estate disciplines involved; and, for the Deal of the Year award, (iii) project complexity. Transaction size (in terms of dollars and/or physical size) alone will not be a factor. The Committee urges you to submit a project that you feel was significant for you in the past year even if it does not met 100% of the above-referenced criteria. We would like a broad representation of deals from CREW St. Louis members.
