CREW Fort Worth will host its A Night with CREW Awards Gala on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at the Ashton Depot in Fort Worth. The annual event will celebrate the professionals, organizations, projects and transactions making a meaningful impact on the commercial real estate industry and the local CREW community.
The evening will begin with cocktails at 6 p.m., followed by the awards dinner from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Tickets and tables are still available.
Founded in 1985 by a group of Fort Worth businesswomen seeking to connect and do business together, CREW Fort Worth has grown from a lunchtime gathering into a network of more than 180 local members connected to a global organization of 15,000 members. Over four decades, the chapter has built a community centered on professional relationships, leadership development, education and opportunities for women and men across the commercial real estate industry.<\/p>\n
The annual awards gala recognizes the people and organizations advancing that mission, from members who contribute their time and leadership to industry partners, transactions and projects that make a lasting impact.<\/p>\n
