Councils are intentionally small, with approximately 45 people per Council, which ensures a focused environment for exchanging information and building deeper, professional connections. This competitive initiative adds tremendous value to your ULI membership.聽 The strength of the CPC’s lies in the diversity of the ULI membership, both in industry sector and industry experience. 聽Keep in mind, each Council has a limited number of positions available for each ULI membership type.
