Our mission

Dedicated to empowering women to excel, influence and lead throughout their commercial real estate careers.

Our history

Toronto CREW was initiated and founded by Danny Klempfner in 1996. Danny had the initial vision and contact with CREW Network and invited Anne Morash, Francine Baker Sigal and Virginia Beauchamp to collaborate with her and determine how to best launch Toronto CREW. Jointly, these founding members invited other high-ranking women in the commercial real estate field to form Toronto CREW’s first Board, planned Toronto CREW’s first event, created the by-laws, and the rest is history. Danny was the founding President for the first two years of Toronto CREW’S existence as an organization. While we began with just a dozen founding members, we now have more than 260.
