Leading commercial real estate association CREW-Miami (Commercial Real Estate Women) has announced the recipients of its 2010 awards program. Each year, the organization presents a series of awards to recognize its members who have made a significant impact on the organization and the industry as a whole.
“So many of our members shined this year, and the CREW Awards program is an opportunity to spotlight those who took extraordinary steps toward becoming more engaged with the organization and colleagues within the industry,” says newly elected president Lyan Fernandez, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Total Bank. “Most remarkable is that despite the downturn, we continue to see an uptick in deals being done between CREW-Miami members, which is a testament to the value that comes with networking and staying connected with industry peers.”
