Leadership Steering Committee

Following the framework set by the Americas NEXT Strategic Plan, the aim of the Leadership Steering Committee (LSC) is to integrate the NEXT networks and programming from each local district council with the Americas level and to connect NEXT members with the other ULI networks and centers across the organization to create more open, transparent, and connected systems. Members of the Americas NEXT Leadership Steering Committee (LSC) are Full-members, considered mid-career, and who have held distinguished leadership roles within ULI.

VISION & VALUES

Broaden Reach: Create a framework to extend reach across regions, into district councils, and throughout leadership channels with an aim to enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion within ULI.

Create More Opportunities to Engage: Launch a multi-tiered engagement platform creating more opportunities to engage NEXT members.

Facilitate Peer Connectivity: Across the NEXT mid-career demographic, across affinity groups, and across leadership tracks, allowing members to leverage the right relationships at the right time to enhance their professional advancement and ultimately provide for both personal and professional enrichment.

Establish an Aspirational Path for YLG Graduates: Play more of a role in creating an aspirational path for ULI YLG members and in creating more opportunities for mentoring between NEXT and YLG.

Create Unique Content and Programs: Programming themes include transformation, entrepreneurship, disruption, and connectivity.

Provide an Avenue for Philanthropy: Through ULI internal networks and initiatives, identify and partner with value-aligned external partners or organizations that help advance ULI’s mission. NEXT aspires to leverage the expertise of its membership base to assist in ULI technical assistance panels (TAPs), where we can drive positive, impactful outcomes for underserved communities.
