  • Work in concert with district council leadership to advance a comprehensive sponsorship program that provides a robust, sustainable platform for staff and programs, including the support and oversight of volunteers who are working to secure sponsors.
  • Implement a comprehensive membership program that engages the membership committee as well as the Young Leaders Group and other committees in efforts to maintain and enhance existing members, expand new memberships, and encourage upgraded memberships, such as from associate member to full member; provide opportunities for active member voluntary engagement in our program of work, and incorporate strategies that enhance the diversity of the membership.
  • Foster and maintain key external strategic alliances with other professional, academic, public sector, and nonprofit organizations.
  • Support the Chair, Management, and Governance Committees in administration, leadership development, and succession.
  • Lead and engage ULI’s members in the development and execution of current strategic plan, which may include the following:
    • Local “Pillar” topics that the region has identified as strategic;
    • Programs and events throughout the region focused on, among other subjects, real estate trends, sustainability/smart growth, housing, infrastructure, and capital markets;

  • Lead the ULI Triangle office and staff.
