Pay your membership invoice upon approval
Membership applications are accepted year-round; however, all CREW memberships follow a calendar-year cycle, expiring December 31. Renewal invoices are issued each November. Membership dues must be paid annually to maintain active membership.
To align with the calendar-year membership cycle, discounted dues are available for new members who join after June 15:
June 15–September 30: New members pay a prorated rate for the remainder of the current calendar year.
October 1–December 31: New members may join for the upcoming calendar year and begin receiving benefits immediately, providing up to 15 months of membership for the annual dues rate.
Membership is tied to the individual and is non-transferrable from person to person, within a company or otherwise. Membership dues are non-refundable.
Annual dues for membership in CREW DC will be billed by CREW Network upon approval of your application. The actual dues amount owed will be based on the membership category in which you are approved.
CREW welcomes commercial real estate professionals of all backgrounds, experience levels, genders, race, ethnicity, origin, sexual orientation, and ability to apply for membership. We believe diverse voices enrich our business connections and drive innovation.
Once your dues are paid, we’ll help you activate your membership profile and benefits. The more you engage with your membership, the more value you will see. Through CREW, people like you have expanded their professional network, developed their leadership skills, and had increased access to business deals.
Use this support letter template to help your employer understand the value of your CREW Network involvement—from professional development and leadership growth to expanded networks and industry insights—and how it benefits both you and your organization.
