New in 2021!

ULI Northwest is delighted to announce the launch of a new virtual program: Leadership for Change

This year, ULI Northwest’s Center for Leadership program has undergone dramatic transformations. In March, we postponed the traditional in-person program to September, hoping the pandemic would be brought under control by then. In June and July, we realized that in-person gatherings would not be feasible and that we needed to adapt to the new normal.  Concurrently, the racial justice reckoning motivated by the murders of George Floyd and many others dominated our collective conscience. These disruptions, while difficult, presented an opportunity to reframe the program for this new era and equip leaders with the tools they need to navigate uncertainty. 

It is a great pleasure to announce the launch of Leadership for Change, a fully virtual leadership course for mid-career professionals. Leadership for Change focuses specifically on developing core competencies that are required for real estate leaders to successfully navigate change and acknowledge and promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in their organizations and communities. The program examines the historical context of racial inequities, the role of real estate and land use in creating and perpetuating these injustices, and helps participants reflect on their personal power to lead systems change.
