NYCREW'S WHITE PAPER

Last night, we also had the chance to meet CREW's national head honchess Jane Snoddy Smith of Fulbright & Jaworski, who traveled from Texas (no NY black wardrobe for her!) to help present the CREW National White Paper to NYCREW.

CREW, which has grown 25% over five years, calls '09 "the Year of the Member," and is starting a leadership academy, holding a September convention in Boston, and is expanding internationally to Dubai and Denmark.
NYCREW officer and CREW industry research committee chair Barbara Champoux of Crowell & Moring presented the paper, noting that it's important to be a linear thinker yet creative at the same time. We're in a market of opportunity, and it's not about finding a job, but finding the right job.

She mentions opportunities in distress, bankruptcy, accounting, advisory, valuation and several other related industries. (More photos)
