2017-18 MENTORSHIP FORUM

VIEW PARTICIPANTS IN THE CLASS OF 2017-18

OVERVIEW:

The Mentorship Forum is year-long professional development program designed to provide the following to Young Leader members who are under the age of 35:

  • Exploration of ULI’s mission in a confidential, trusting environment of idea exchange;
  • A broader understanding of all facets of the real estate environment;
  • Connectivity with ULI peers and a senior-level Mentor;
  • Personal and professional development.

The 2017-18 Mentorship Forum will consist of four small groups, each consisting of 10-12 Young Leader members paired with a single Mentor. Each Small Group will have an appointed Group Leader to assist the Mentor with scheduling, selecting meeting venues, making lunch arrangements/reservations, etc.

ANNUAL SCHEDULE:

Ten meetings will be scheduled from September 2017 through June 2018, consisting of seven small group lunch discussions and three combined group events. The monthly schedule for the Mentorship Program is outlined in more detail on the following page.

ATTENDANCE:

100% attendance is expected. Participants are made aware of the attendance requirement at the onset of the application process. Each participant’s supervisor has provided signed permission / recognition of the monthly meetings and the attendance requirement. Each Group Leader must keep track of attendance for each meeting, and provide it to the Young Leader Management Committee at the conclusion of the program.  Attendance will be taken into consideration when determining future admittance into the program.

GROUP LUNCHES:

Dates and locations for the group lunches are at the discretion of the Mentor and group participants. All arrangements related to booking conference rooms, making reservations or ordering boxed lunches will be handled by the Group Leader in coordination with the Mentor. Food and drink for Small Group meetings will be ordered in advance by the Group Leader and paid for via ULI with the funds from the $150 participation fee from each participant . Lunches are expected to last 60 to 75 minutes.

PARTICIPATION FEE:

There is a $150 annual fee to participate in the Mentorship Forum. This fee is separate from, and in addition to, your annual ULI membership dues.  The all-inclusive fee covers expenses for ten meetings, including seven small group lunch discussions and three combined group events.
