Today is International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, observed annually on August 9th. This day is dedicated to raising awareness and protecting the rights of Indigenous populations globally. In the real estate industry, this observance holds particular significance. Professionals often work on land with deep historical and cultural ties to Indigenous communities. It is essential for those in the industry to understand these connections, acknowledge and respect historical injustices, practice cultural sensitivity, build meaningful relationships for collaborative projects, and advocate for policies that protect Indigenous land rights. By doing so, they can support and honor Indigenous communities more effectively.

🌟 Member Spotlight: Celebrating Our CREW CT Star! 🌟 Meet ✪ Erin Cabelus, our current CREW CT President, Senior Agency Counsel at CATIC, and a member of Hartford Business Journal's 2024 Power 25 Real Estate class! Erin has a remarkable journey in Commercial Real Estate, marked by passion, resilience, and teamwork. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲?  "I have always been fascinated by commercial real estate, particularly redevelopment – how space can be reimagined, repurposed, and brought back to life again. I appreciate the collaborative nature of CRE, how so many different parties need to work together creatively to make the transaction come together. I sought roles that gave me a chance to learn, from working at a boutique law firm during law school to now at CATIC, where growing our commercial business is a big objective." 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝘀𝘂𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲?  "To be honest, I think my role in the title insurance industry found me more than I found it, but it’s been a great fit for me. I work directly with real estate attorneys and industry partners to support them and their transactions, building relationships and solving problems, which I truly enjoy." 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀/𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲?  "The most immediate challenge is that women are underdogs in commercial real estate. But with every challenge comes opportunity and who doesn’t love a good underdog story!? I think there is a lot of opportunity to not only bring more women and diversity into commercial real estate but to continue to highlight and elevate the smart, talented women who are already in this space and helping us blaze ahead.” 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸?  "Anything fun & active! Boating, paddleboarding, skiing, hiking, traveling, and yoga (I also teach yoga). I love watching my kids play sports and spending downtime with my family, including our beloved mutt, Mildred." We are proud to have Erin as part of our CREW CT family. 👉 For Erin’s full story, check out this link: Member Spotlight Erin Cabelus CREW CT (crewnetwork.org) #CREWCT #MemberSpotlight #CommercialRealEstate #WomenInCRE #Networking #CareerGrowth #Inspiration
