ULI Philadelphia: Fall 2022 Recap

It was a busy fall 2022 for ULI Philadelphia! From September through November, members organized and joined 40+ council meetings, events, or special programs and initiatives. More than 60 members also traveled to Dallas, TX for the ULI Fall Meeting, the largest conference for in-person attendees since the start of the pandemic. More than ever, we are thankful for our members organizing and participating in thoughtful and engaging programming. We look forward to seeing our members at our December events, including the Annual Holiday Party on Wednesday, 12/14, and we look forward to the year ahead!
