Anna Kennedy is the recipient of the 2022 Circle of Excellence Award for her tireless support of Toronto CREW and the advancement of women of all backgrounds in the commercial real estate industry over her 40-year career.

She has opened doors for Toronto CREW by promoting us as the organization of choice in advancing women and diversity within the industry. Her chapter commitment is a contributing factor in the growth of our membership to over 400 members, along with the individual successes of various members. 

Alongside her volunteer contributions are significant accomplishments in her own career at Oxford Property Group and KingSett Capital.

Once she retires at the end of November, we are grateful that Anna is willing to continue her leadership and influence at Toronto CREW, and in Board of Director roles at Jona Capital, the University of Toronto, and the C.D. Howe Institute.
