Aside from access to all CREW members, many of the resource services provided are available on CREW Network’s website at www.crewnetwork.org. Below is a brief listing of just some of the valuable tools.

 CREW Biz - this is the online directory for CREW Network and allows you to establish your personal “webpage” to display your bio, specialties and other pertinent business information. CREW Biz is also how you can pay your annual dues and register for Network events. As a new member, this is one of the first things you should do so you are registered and plugged in.
