What defines a CREW Network Gold Standard Chapter?  Delegates attending the recent 2011 Spring Leadership Summit & Council Meeting in Las Vegas came one step closer to answering that question.

Under the leadership of CREW Network President Collete English Dixon, delegates first began discussing the concept of a “gold standard chapter” at the 2011 Winter Meetings in New Orleans. The results of those discussions revealed a strong consensus that a gold standard chapter should meet established criteria for the following four priorities: quality membership, stature/profile/recognition, financial stability and member opportunities.

During the Spring Meeting, delegates took the next step and worked in small groups to define the four priorities, identify what would constitute the gold standard for each and begin developing strategies for chapters to achieve these standards. 

“Defining gold standard measures for our chapters is an important step toward ensuring the success, growth and stability of our organization,” said 2011CREW Network President Collete English Dixon. “All of which will ultimately strengthen the CREW Network brand within the industry – and that benefits every member. I commend our chapters for their foresight and commitment to achieving this goal.” 

CREW Network is currently compiling the results of these discussions and will present the results back to delegates for further discussion at the Fall Meeting in Washington, D.C.
