What are the Pathways to Inclusion Initiative?
The Pathways to Inclusion Initiative is designed to broaden ULI membership and expand the professional networks of real estate and land use professionals in Toronto. We believe that by diversifying our membership, we can better fulfil our organization's mission to create and sustain thriving communities. The Pathways to Inclusion Initiative will provide up to 25 people from equity-deserving communities a scholarship to the 2023 Spring Meeting to be held in Toronto from May 16-18, 2023 and a one-year ULI membership. Membership and Spring Meeting registration are valued at more than $2,000.00. The annual Spring Meeting brings together over 4,000 land use and real estate professionals from around the globe. The program will also provide a suggested programming track at the Spring Meeting to direct the participants toward sessions focusing on their interests. After the meeting, the program will provide additional opportunities to reinforce access and engagement as a ULI member throughout the year.
