ULI Triangle Committees

Coastal Committee

The Coastal Committee brings together a diverse group of industry professionals, experts, and community leaders who share a passion for shaping the future of our coastal region. Through collaboration, innovation, and knowledge-sharing, we aim to address the unique challenges and opportunities facing our coastal communities. Our goal is to provide educational and relationship building opportunities to ULI members across the North Carolina coastal region. We organize content based events and tours on the latest projects, and explore opportunities for sustainable growth and development, to deliver the highest-quality information to our members. This committee is responsible for expanding and maintaining ULI membership on the coast of eastern North Carolina. We aim to further diversify ULI Triangle membership by continuing to actively recruit all sectors of the real estate development community (public and private sector).

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee (DEI)

The Diversity & Inclusion Steering Committee strives to promote racial diversity and advocacy within the real estate and land use sector. We recognize, and embrace, that the members of our organization as well as the community we serve, have evolved into a rich mosaic of people from diverse cultures, beliefs, and backgrounds. As an organization, we need to better understand and educate ourselves on the broader issues of diversity, history of racial equity and social disparities as it relates to our industry. ULI focuses on building healthy communities and we must understand how these areas work together as a whole to achieve long term progress.

Sponsorship Committee

Sixty-five percent of ULI Triangle’s budget comes from our Annual Sponsorship Campaign.

Transportation & Infrastructure Action Committees

The Transportation & Land Use Committee creates opportunities for professionals with a variety of backgrounds and experience to share and expand their knowledge of transportation and land use issues and to enhance community understanding of the integral relationship between transportation and land use decisions. Our Transportation & Infrastructure Committee is considered one of our ULI Action Committees.  They gather members who have a specific passion and knowledge on an important regional topic, with the broad goal of providing leadership to our communities on the specific topic.  Each Action Committee will provide a venue to gather, brainstorm, share ideas, and discuss relevant sub-topics and trends.  Additionally, each Action Committee will seek to identify ways that the District Council can provide leadership, research, and/or education in our Triangle communities.

UrbanPlan for Public Officials  

UrbanPlan for Public Officials is an engaging workshop that convenes local decision makers for an interactive dialogue about the fundamental forces that affect the built environment and the important leadership roles that elected and appointed officials play.

UrbanPlan for Universities

UrbanPlan for Universities aims to develop land use professionals–developers, planners, architects, investors, and policy makers–who are more sophisticated and effective when they enter the workforce. UrbanPlan moves students from a theoretical and ideological understanding of their discipline to the practical realities and demands of the development team and process. In addition, the module is a challenging team building exercise and introduction to ULI and key leaders in the industry.
