CREW Dallas Leadership Institute
Applications for the Class of 2027 go live September 1st, 2026.
CREW Dallas is proud to offer its very own Leadership Institute program. Every other year, the CREW Dallas Leadership Institute teams up with SMU Cox School of Business to provide members of all career levels with skills and strategies to meet the demands of an increasingly changing environment. The Leadership Institute is limited to a number of member cohorts. The Leadership Committee also provides members with 1-to-2-hour Leadership sessions held throughout the year. All CDLI Sessions will focus on leading the self, leading others/teams/stakeholders, and leading in an organization.
