and click on the CREWbiz link.

STEP 2: LOADING YOUR BIOThe bio that you present on your CREWbiz page is your opportunity to deliver your “elevator” speech to 8,000 commercial real estate professionals across North America – what skills and expertise do you bring to the table? What business do you have to give and what type of business do you hope to get? Be sure to list the range of projects you’ve lead or have played a significant role in and describe what that role was. Highlight the deals you’ve closed. Your bio should be compelling and succinct. Sell yourself!
2.1. Click on “My Information,” located at the top of the left hand navigation bar.
2.2. Click "Edit" next to "Demographic Information" (shown below). Here you will load your bio by cutting and pasting it from a Word document. While you can type your text directly into the biographical field, it is recommended that you work from a saved Word document as unforeseen errors could occur during the upload process and content could be lost.
2.3 The “My Information” section is also where you will update any personal information you would like to change/add, as well as develop a short description of your “Professional Responsibility” and upload your photo – both of which will populate your Profile page.
STEP 3: LOADING YOUR PHOTO

3.3. Select Height in the drop down button.
3.4. Type 150 for the pixel height.
3.5. Click the Submit button.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before saving your re-sized photo back to your files, you must rename it so you do not overwrite your original file.
3.6. Your photo will be resized and a window will appear asking you if you want to open or save the photo to your computer. Choose "Save" and place the photo where you will find it on the next step (saving to the DESKTOP is an easy-to-find location).
3.7. Now, go back to your CREWbiz editing page and upload your photo by clicking "Upload/Edit Your Photo" shown here:
3.8. Browse for your photo on your computer by clicking "Browse" shown below. Now click the "Upload Image Now!" button.
NOTE: You will not be able to remove your photo once it has been uploaded, however, you may replace it with another photo by following the same steps above. If you are unable load your photo correctly or you would like the photo that you have uploaded removed, please email CREW Network: crewinquiry@crewnetwork.org.
STEP 4: SEARCH FOR MEMBERS
There are two methods for searching for members. You can search for a single member by last name or search for members using more robust search criteria.
4.1. To quickly locate and access the CREWbiz profile page of a specific member, use the “Search by Last Name” feature located at the top of the left hand navigation bar. Type in the last name of the member (this is not case sensitive) and click on “Go.” This will take you to all members with that last name. Once you have located the listing you’re looking forward, click on the member’s name and you will be routed directly to that member’s CREWbiz page.
4.2. For a more robust member search, use the “Member Directory” link located towards the middle of the left hand navigation bar. You will then be given the option of searching by name, company name, city, state, area of specialty and more. Again, once you locate the listing you’re looking for, click on the member’s name and you will be routed directly to that member’s CREWbiz page.
