Six awards are given annually: Susan A. Halsey Excellence in Leadership; Member of the Year; Carla Higgins CREW Future Leader of the Year; Partner of the Year; Project of the Year; and Deal of the Year.
Lifetime Achievement Award
In 2011, the Legacy of Leadership Committee (LLC) awarded its first Lifetime Achievement Award. The award will be given at the discretion of LLC with prior approval by the CREW Fort Worth Board of Directors, due to the benefits associated with the recognition. The core value of this prestigious award is to recognize excellence and lifetime achievements in the recipient’s professional and personal life; with emphasis on extraordinary leadership and commitments to the mission and endeavors of CREW Fort Worth, CREW Network and CREW Network Foundation. The honoree must have accomplished and personify the many qualities that distinguish CREW Members as elite professionals, having served CREW Fort Worth at the board level and attended a CREW Network Convention or Leadership Council Meeting. The honorees, themselves, serve as mentors, role models and demonstrate the limitless horizons that commitment and perseverance can achieve. The honorees must possess impeccable credentials.
