It has truly been an honor to serve as your 2019 Chapter President. The success of our chapter would not be possible without the dedication and involvement of the Board of Directors and their committees as well as the amazing support of our members and generous sponsors. Thank you all for making this a memorable year for CREW Richmond.

  • A record number of applications were received for both Marcy Handshaw and Kathy Ivins Scholarships.
  • Summer Social contributions resulted in a $4,500 donation to Dress for Success.
  • Provided Dinner & Game Night to the residents of New Clay House II.
