CREW Dallas recently nominated and elected its 2016 Board of Directors, including Bisnow’s own Texas business manager, Karen Pierre. For more than a decade, Karen has volunteered on different committees, most notably the CREW Dallas Golf Classic Committee, Sponsorship Committee and CREW in the Community Board of Trustees. Karen will be the 2016 marketing & communications director. Pictured are group members earlier this month at the CREW Dallas board retreat, where they made plans and set goals for 2016: EY’s Cally Miltenberger, Hudson Peters Commercial’s Michelle Hudson, Entos Design’s Suzanne Brasuell (president elect); CREW executive director Kim Hopkins; Dykema Cox Smith’s Teresa Ereon Giltner (2016 president); Karen; Lane Gorman Trubitt’s Shea Kracheck; Billingsley Co’s Cathy Kuebler; Bell Nunnally’s Kassandra McLaughlin; Paula Nelson (secretary/treasurer); Guida Slavich & Flores' Sally Longroy (past president); and Bell Nunnally’s Karen Hart.

Karen’s community service extends beyond CREW to the State Fair of Texas, where she judges competition cooking contests alongside some of Big D’s best chefs. Here’s Karen with friends and fellow judges Hart Commercial’s Maschera Usrey and Heritage Farmstead Museum’s M'Lou Hyttinen. Karen is a top producer at Bisnow, where she’s been working the Texas markets for the past year. When you see her at Bisnow’s 2016 Dallas Forecast event, she’ll be sporting a tan as she and husband Jack Pierre are spending a week at Playa del Carmen, Mexico, over Thanksgiving.
