NEW YORK CITY—More than 100 NYCREW and AREW members and guests came together Tuesday on the Upper East Side for the NYCREW Annual Gala & Empire Award. Attendees gathered to celebrate the year now ending and to raise a toast to a bright future just after the two organizations announced they were uniting to form CREW New York. To that end, one of NYCREW's founders, Dotti Cunningham of globeDOTTIng Travel, spoke about the early days of the organization while Barbara Champoux, a two-time president, told those assembled about NYCREW's growth and outreach.
The evening also included the handing down of the Empire Award, which was given to Leila Larijani, SVP—wealth management at UBS Financial Services. The Empire Award recognizes
outstanding dedication and service both to the NYCREW chapter and the industry. It succeeds the Vanguard awards, which previously were given by NYCREW in several categories.
Proceeds from a raffle held during the party will be used to support the CREW Network Foundation, the only foundation solely dedicated to advancing women in commercial real estate.
