Scholarship

The Kathy Ivins Scholarship is in honor of Kathy Watkinson Ivins. She was a Senior Vice President at Thalhimer Commercial Real Estate, joining the company in 1982 as one of the area’s first female brokers working in commercial real estate. Kathy was one of the original five women who came together to form CREW Richmond in 1990. She was President of CREW Richmond in 1993 and was honored in 2010 as one of The Top 20 Women. Kathy was presented with the prestigious “Trailblazer Award” for her exceptional career and dedication to the mission of CREW Richmond and commercial real estate. In addition to her work with CREW Richmond, Kathy was active in the community; serving on the board and as past chairman of Goodwill of Central Virginia, and serving on a variety of other boards and organizations including the Greater Richmond Chamber of Commerce, Richmond Sports Backers, and the Richmond Real Estate Group.

Kathy fought a brave battle with cancer and passed on July 22, 2010. Her memory and dedication to CREW lives on through The Kathy Ivins Scholarship by helping young women achieve their goals.
