On Wednesday, April 24th, several JDL team members participated in CREW Boston’s 2024 Achievement Awards Celebration at the stunning Fairmont Copley Hotel in Boston’s Back Bay. Every year, CREW Boston gathers with the Greater Boston real estate community to honor the professional accomplishments and community contributions of its outstanding members. JDL was proud to be one of the sponsors for this event, which included two of our own employees as CREW members: Christina Lally, Vice President of Business Development, and Annie Dolphin, Director.

“CREW Boston, formerly New England Women in Real Estate (NEWiRE), is the region’s leading professional organization promoting the advancement of women within the commercial real estate industry. CREW Boston’s goal has always been to provide professional support, development, education, encouragement and networking opportunities to its members and to the Greater Boston real estate community.

CREW Boston also offers a variety of social and community service activities throughout the year and has established the CREW Boston Educational Foundation, which supports a scholarship for any female undergraduate and/or graduate student interested in pursuing a career in commercial real estate upon graduation.” – via https://www.crewboston.org/About

What made this award celebration unique was its format. Unlike typical award shows that start with networking, followed by dinner, awards, and departure, CREW’s event began with brief networking just before diving into the awards presentation. Attendees were seated individually, creating an intimate atmosphere to celebrate the remarkable women within the community and the award recipients.

Afterwards, everyone moved to the ballroom for more networking and mingling, along with multiple appetizer stations featuring delightful cuisine such as salads, mashed potatoes, pasta, burgers, and crepes.

The evening was not only enjoyable but also incredibly inspiring, witnessing these deserving women receive recognition for their achievements. The speeches delivered by the awardees were impactful, showcasing their strength and accomplishments. JDL is thrilled to have members actively involved in such a prestigious organization and looks forward to sponsoring future events.
