What
The Americas Young Leaders Group (YLG) Steering Committee is an opportunity for any Urban Land Institute member under 35 to participate at the Americas level. Committee participation is an important avenue for expanding networks and fostering industry relationships. The Americas YLG Steering Committee and subcommittees meet throughout the year to plan professional development and leadership events for members in this cohort, including, but not limited to, the YLG Experience at both the ULI Fall and Spring Meetings, virtual programs showcasing game-changing leaders and projects, support to the annual Young Leaders Exchange, as well as to provide data-enriched support for YLG District Council Chairs across the Americas that further the mission of ULI. Members of the Americas YLG Steering Committee are highly encouraged to attend the ULI Fall and Spring Meetings.
The Americas YLG Steering Committee supports the Urban Land Institute’s DEI Mission, “Pursue unrelenting efforts to shape the built environment toward diverse, equitable, inclusive communities.”

As a member of this subcommittee, you will connect with YLG chairs across an assigned region as a ‘boots-on-the-ground’ advocate for connection and growth.
- Membership + Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) Subcommittee: The purpose of the Membership-DEI Subcommittee is to create a sense of belonging for all members through engagement and opportunities to connect and celebrate members’ experiences. Committee members will liaise with the subcommittees and affinity groups to gain perspective to inform best practices for the YLG member experience, and uphold the ULI DEI mission. Ideal applicants are independent thought leaders willing to help shape and grow the development of the committee.

Members of this committee will also help formalize and operationalize the systems and processes for information sharing between AYLGSC subcommittees and ULI affinity groups for greater coordination and collaboration.
- Fundraising Subcommittee: The Fundraising subcommittee is focused on the creation and development of a YLG fundraising campaign to financially support Young Leaders participation in ULI.
