CREW Membership Information

We would like to thank you for your interest in becoming a member of CREW.

CREW has been active for over 10 years and the Board decided it was a time to make a change to fully realize the talents
with the Cascadia Region. Accordingly, the Board has drafted new bylaws that maintain the Board of Directors category
and created new categories of “Active Members” and “Institutional Members”.

Active members will be individuals with a demonstrated interest in the advancement of CREW’s mission and goals. Active members must participate in one meeting each calendar year and participate on one committee. This commitment may not exceed 20 hours in any Calendar year. Institutional members are representatives of public organizations or private firms within the Cascadia Region. These meetings will be held in person or virtually at the discretion of the Committee Chair. As an Active Member of CREW you will be expected to participate on one of several committees.

Please look at the list of opportunities listed below and let us know your interests:

• Education and Outreach Committee projects – Role: to advance the CREW mission through Education and training including scheduling forums and workshops, developing and distributing material, and suggesting policy to the CREW Board of Directors.
• Quarterly Meetings and Conferences – Role: schedule CREW Quarterly and Annual Board Meetings and Conferences. Quarterly meetings are the principle tool used by CREW to guide overall direction.
• Grants & Projects Development – Role: to advance the CREW mission through writing and submitting grant applications and developing new projects. Projects once funded will be performed by the Education and Outreach Committee or other special purpose working group.

Please make your selection known by notifying our Executive Director, Bob Freitag at bfreitag@CREW.org.

Thank you for your interest.
