Being active in NYCREW has assisted Nancy Wood, CPA, in her career

Name: Nancy Wood, CPA Address: 20 Plaza Street East, Apt E6, Brooklyn, NY 11238 Telephone: 917-669-0225 Email: [email protected] I am a CPA who has worked within the commercial real estate industry for over 15 years. During this time, I have worked in various areas of real estate such as accounting, financial analysis and asset management. Currently I am in transition and networking to find an opportunity where I can apply my analytical expertise and accounting experience. I have been fortunate to be one of the founding members and the first treasurer for NYCREW Network. Through my membership years I have also remained active on the membership and communication committees. Being a member of NYCREW Network has enabled me to come in contact with an amazing group of women internationally. My first CREW Network conference was in Boston in October 2001. The experience at the conference was great. I met women who have accomplished so much in their professional careers and have contributed a great deal to their communities. That first conference and all the conferences I have attended have been inspirational. Networking for my next opportunity has been extremely challenging in this economy. However, I know that when I try to contact a person within CREW Network and if they are unavailable to speak with me at that moment, they will contact me within 24 to 48 hours. The people who I have contacted have always responded and have helped me with networking suggestions and given me other contacts. I have always promoted NYCREW Network and have encouraged potential members the importance of becoming part of CREW Network. Even if you are employed it is always important to be a part of a network and grow your circle of contacts throughout your career.
