MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIR -
DAVID RICCI..

The New Year offers each of us an opportunity to start fresh and also marks ULI's 75th anniversary year. What's your resolution for 2012? Spend more time with the family; lose some weight or exercise more? How about professional development? An easy and effective way to do this is to get more involved in ULI. Register for one of our upcoming programs; play 3-on-3 basketball with us to benefit our scholarship fund; or serve on a Council.

ULI has launched a great new membership campaign. Recruit colleagues and earn free registrations for national meetings, discounted membership dues and more. Sign up for your personalized "Membership Pays" dashboard at www.uli.org/MembershipPays to track your points and help ULI Philadelphia win $1,000 towards our scholarship fund.

2012 will likely be similar to 2011 -- marked by slow job growth and an economy still searching to redefine itself. Despite these economic conditions, there will always be opportunities in our industry and ULI continues to offer the content and a forum to help you find those opportunities. Get more engaged this year and, as always, feel free to contact me at 215-561-6565, dricci@flynnco.com.
