What We Do
Programs
ULI Utah hosts educational programs and forums that are interdisciplinary and practical, focusing on a broad range of issues that apply to many different parts of the development industry. These programs are open to both members and non-members, covering topics effecting development such as smart growth, the economy, transit, housing, design, sustainability, trends, policy making and finance. We also host networking events which provide opportunities to exchange ideas and information on a more informal level.
Young Leaders Group
The ULI Utah Young Leaders Group is a forum for young professionals under the age of 35. The objective of the Young Leaders Group is to bring together the leaders of tomorrow’s local real estate and land use community with our seasoned members in a professional and social learning environment. A series of lunch programs, open only to Young Leaders, provides smaller settings for informative topics and speakers. Through our annual Mentoring Program, Young Leaders are matched with an experienced professional for a year-long association. Young Leaders are encouraged to learn from the best—mastering best practices, establishing professional relationships, and getting advice about challenges they encounter as a young professional in our industry.
