Local Member Councils

    ULI San Antonio is launching 6 Local Member Councils. APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN NOW !

    Local Member Council Structure

    Local Member Councils, modeled after the ULI Americas Product Councils, are small groups of ULI members focused on exploring and discussing land-use trends and challenges that affect Central Texas.

    Local Member Councils (LMCs) are designed to engage members based on their expertise and passion within the land use industry.  LMCs are topically focused, multidisciplinary groups that meet regularly to exchange ideas, examine industry trends, and share information and best practices in a collaborative manner. Each council determines its program content, guest speakers, and meeting schedule. Meetings are discussion focused even when seeded by a guest speaker.

    ULI members who serve on a Local Member Council are expected to attend regularly to fully participate in the exchange of information and advance the goals of the Local Member Council. The success of the LMC is dependent upon active participation and meaningful contribution by all members

    Membership on each Local Member Council is limited to 15-25 people and is determined by application. The application process is designed to ensure an engaging experience that includes diverse, multidisciplinary perspectives on each Local Member Council. Once admitted to a Local Member Council, members may continue participation year-after-year without reapplying. You must be a current ULI member to participate.
