As industry leaders, we acknowledge the harmful legacy of past and current development policies and practices that segregate black and brown communities and restrict access to better schools, safer streets, and cleaner environments. ULI Washington remains firmly committed to advancing the cause of equitable development and inclusive excellence in the industry.

ULI Washington’s Inclusive Excellence Steering Committee meets monthly to lead programming for the Pathways to Inclusion Initiative, advise ULI Washington committees on strategies for inclusivity and belonging, and develop policies to advance equitable development and inclusive practices in the built environment.

Because a more diverse membership strengthens our ability to fulfill ULI’s mission of creating and sustaining thriving communities, ULI Washington partnered with ULI’s national office in 2019 to launch the Pathways to Inclusion Initiative. This program is designed to broaden ULI membership and expand the professional networks of underrepresented real estate and land use professionals in the Washington, D.C. region.
