Participation Guidelines
Modeled after ULI Americas Product Councils, LMCs are small groups of ULI members focused on exploring and discussing land-use trends and challenges that affect Central Texas. Local Member Councils are designed to engage members based on their expertise and passion within the land use industry. Local Member Councils are topically focused, multi-disciplinary groups that meet regularly to exchange ideas, examine industry trends, and share information and best practices in a collaborative and collegiate manner.

Members are eligible to transfer to another LMC, on a space-available basis, after a minimum of one-year active participation with the original LMC.
- Annual Participation Fee: LMC members pay a $225 annual participation fee, payable each year in January. (Public or Nonprofit members pay $200.) The participation fee is separate and in addition to a member’s annual dues to belong to ULI.
- Attendance: The success of each LMC is dependent upon active participation and meaningful contribution by all members; hence consistent attendance is required. Three (3) absences are permitted within a 12-month calendar year. Attendance is counted only for meetings that occur on the LMC’s regularly scheduled day/time each month. Meetings held on a different schedule are considered optional and will not count toward attendance.
