ULI Philadelphia Committees are interdisciplinary groups of members interested in topic areas who come together to discuss best practices, exchange ideas, develop programs, and further the ULI mission to shape the future of the built environment for transformative impact in communities worldwide.

ULI NEXT is designed to champion the ULI mission through a compelling avenue of engagement for mid-career professionals. ULI defines NEXT members as ages 36-50. ULI NEXT Philadelphia extends ULI’s global resources and membership networks to foster leadership opportunities in development and the built environment. The Council will provide a range of benefits to participants as they develop their leadership skills and build lasting relationships across ULI’s leadership and member networks. At the local level, ULI Philadelphia’s NEXT Council meets monthly to discuss local initiatives, participate in tours, and to hear from guest speakers.

In order to foster a fruitful and engaging experience, ULI NEXT Philadelphia goes through a selection process to identify members for each flight (or class). A flight is capped at about 30 members.

Committee member expectations and requirements include:

• Active participation and attendance at meetings, not missing more than three unexcused meetings per year.
• Helping plan a dynamic program of work
• Maintain a current ULI Membership.
• Pay a small administrative fee ($50 for all members). Accommodations are available for those facing financial hardship. To learn more please contact us.
• Non-members may attend NEXT meetings as the invited guest of a current council member.
