CREW Members Win Big
July 10, 2012
Kudos to the members of CREW Charlotte who were recognized among the Charlotte Business Journal's top 25 executives for the 2012 Women in Business Awards (all of whom are pictured above). The CREW members honored include: Mecklenburg Paint Co's Liz Etheredge, Cassidy Turley's Lisa Huls-Fry, Charlotte Chamber of Commerce's Kati Hynes, and tenant broker Cristy Nine. | |
We snapped the Chamber's director of economic development Kati Hynes getting her award. Kati has worked with a host of companies since joining the Chamber in 2000 to persuade them of the virtues of the Charlotte area. A recent feather in her cap: Chiquita. (Make that a banana in her hat.) | |
What's next? CREW Charlotte, in partnership with the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, has set dates for the fourth annual Queen City in Pink, when Charlotte buildings and fountains turn pink, whether by illumination or other pink displays, to remind people that the struggle against breast cancer goes on. Last year, more than 80 Charlotte-area buildings participated. The organization is hoping for more this year, from Sept 30 to Oct 7. |
