NYCREW Network honors Roebling at recent meeting

In celebration of Women's History Month, NYCREW Network hosted a Leading Ladies' panel event discussing the critical role Emily Warren Roebling played in the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge, and the work of women today in building bridges around the city and beyond. Speaking at the March 15 meeting were moderator Wanda Bubriski of Beverly Willis Architecture; Clare Weisz of The Design Trust for Public Space; Courtney Clark of Weidlinger Associates; Andrea Woodner of The Design Trust for Public Space; and Emily Warren Roebling's great-great grandson Kristian Roebling, of the Roebling Museum. NYCREW Network, the original New York area chapter of CREW (Commercial Real Estate Women, a national organization of over 8,000 commercial real estate professionals), was founded in 2001 to advance the success of women in commercial real estate through opportunity, influence and power. During the past ten years, NYCREW has provided its members with the skills and opportunities to achieve success in commercial real estate, encouraging doing business together in collaboration rather than competition. Comprised of senior and rising professionals from a broad range of disciplines within the commercial real estate industry, such as: financial services; asset and property management; developers; owners and operators; investment and property brokerage firms; and appraisers, accountants, architects, attorneys and other consultants, NYCREW members are also active in a wide range of industry segments, such as hospitality, industrial, office, retail, mixed use, transportation, etc.
