Anne Crews

Vice President of Government Relations and Board Member for The Mary Kay Foundation.

At Mary Kay for 26 years and married to Kyle Crews for 25 years – a great partnership.

By interacting with elected officials, I help ensure the marketplace is as conducive as possible for Mary Kay Inc. and its independent sales force to thrive.  I have the honor of helping women through supporting The Mary Kay Foundation, and strongly believe we must build a culture of zero tolerance of violence against women.

I am a Texas native and love spending time outdoors, and with my family and our two dogs, J. Crews and Mel Crews.
