What is a Partnership Forum Group?
The mission of the ULI Northwest Young Leaders Partnership Forum is to foster an exchange of professional ideas, friendship, and expertise among young real estate professionals and industry veterans that are members of the Urban Land Institute. This program matches young professionals (“Mentees”) from the Young Leaders Group with experienced professionals (“Mentors”) for guidance and support, while offering mentors an opportunity to strengthen ties with future real estate leaders.
Building Relationships
The Mentorship Program affords both young and experienced professionals the opportunity to develop a dynamic relationship from which both mentors and mentees benefit in a small group setting. The ideal mentoring relationship is one that exceeds fact-finding and delves into personal knowledge and experience. Mentors are invaluable resources in helping guide and advise the mentees to actualize their career goals.
The Mentee
Each Partnership Forum Group consists of 15 – 20 YLG members with an interest and proven dedication to real estate. We make every effort to ensure YLG Partnership Forum Group participants represent diverse professional backgrounds and companies.
The Partnership Forum Groups meet 4 – 5 times during the program year and attendance is mandatory for these scheduled events. You must be a current ULI member to participate.
