Leadership is at the heart of ULI’s mission, so we look for every opportunity to help our members grow their own leadership skills, and to serve as leaders for ULI’s many programs, committees and initiatives.Learn more about ULI’s leadership programs, and explore new ways to participate, as an individual or on behalf of your organization, in fulfilling ULI’s mission.

ULI’s mission statement begins with the phrase “To provide leadership,” and leadership is a theme that’s woven into nearly everything we do.  To create and sustainable thriving communities worldwide, ULI challenges our members-people who build communities and develop and redevelop neighborhoods, business districts, and communities around the world-to be leaders in their communities, their fields, and the Institute.

The District Council itself is led by key Michigan leaders, with varied experiences in multiple real estate and land use disciplines in both the public and private sectors, who have a deep understanding of the mission and priorities of ULI and a commitment to leadership cultivation. ULI Michigan offers opportunities for real estate and land use professionals to learn from each other, via traditional programs and events, and leadership development initiatives like the Larson Center for Leadership and the Women’s Leadership Initiative.
