Young Leaders Group Partnership Forum

The mission of this year-long program is to provide an opportunity for Young Leaders (ULI members under the age of 35) and seasoned ULI members to connect, grow, and create lasting relationships by sharing their knowledge and experiences in an atmosphere of confidentiality, trust, and respect.

Annual Timeline

Registration: January - February
Program: March – December

Groups meet anywhere from 3-4 times per year. Most meet during the week, a mixture of before/during/after business hours, but it’s up to the specific group.

Commitment
Every applicant must be committed to the Program in order to create the type of atmosphere necessary for success. 100% attendance and participation in each meeting for a full year is expected. Missing more than one meeting may disqualify you from further participation in your group and any future programs. Please verify with your employer/boss that you will be allowed the flexibility to participate in this program prior to applying.

Structure
Each Grid (Group) shall consist of 8 – 12 YLG members from different professional backgrounds and organizations. Diversity is a key component to this program as it is focused on exposing YL to the entire real estate industry and allows for more candid discussions. Forums are lead by two seasoned ULI members and supported by a Champion*. Meetings can involve discussions over coffee, discussions on 5 year, 10 year or lifetime plans, case studies, social events, project tours, bowling, or anything else mutually agreed upon to further the relationship among the group. There will be two Grids whereas one is focused on Development and the other on Professional Services i/e Engineering, Architecture, Construction etc.

Confidentiality
Confidentiality is absolute, in all ways and forever. A breach in confidentiality will be treated as a resignation from the Partnership Forum.

Champions
Champions play a crucial role in the program by acting as a liaison with the mentor, scheduling meetings, working to keep the group focused, and providing feedback to the Partnership Forum Committee. The Champion does not have to be responsible for the content of all meetings but would work with the seasoned members to help brainstorm and prepare for the meeting. They will ensure that the group continues to meet on a regular basis and that each member of the group is contributing. The role is crucial to the success of the program. If you think you would be interested in this role please Apply Now!!
