YLG Leadership Structure:

YLG Summit Subcommittee: Two executive committee co-chairs with additional committee members.  The YLG Summit is an annual half day ULI Minnesota continuing education and networking event centered on a real estate trend and topic as selected and showcased by the Young Leaders Group. This event is one of ULI Minnesota’s keystone programs and we invite you to be on the team that plans the upcoming YLG Summit! Leaders on this committee are working towards an event delivery in spring of 2022.

Mentorship Subcommittee: Two executive committee co-chairs with additional committee members, 1 year renewable term.
The mentorship committee oversees planning and implementation of ULI Minnesota’s annual mentorship program.

We invite you to help in delivering a highly sought-after mentoring program that utilizes ULI’s robust network of leaders.
Events & Education subcommittee: Two executive committee co-chairs with additional committee members, 1 year term, renewable. This events and education committee is instrumental in delivering more casual and frequent member engagement opportunities including trends and educational sessions, happy hours, and property tours. Leaders on this committee will be asked to plan 1 or 2 events  over the course of the year and potentially assist other subcommittee members with other events.
