Finding new ways to stay connected and engaged with our peers is now more important than ever. ULI’s Women’s Leadership Initiative (WLI) offers opportunities to learn, grow, and strengthen your personal and professional network while you’re sheltering in place!

WLI Mentor Circle Program

WLI Americas Executive Committee is launching an exciting new virtual mentor program! This program is designed to provide female ULI Full Members a formal program of peer mentoring. The goal of the program is to help enable network-building and mentorship, as well as develop the pipeline of women ready to take on key leadership roles within ULI.

Applicants will be placed into small (8 – 12 women), self-governed groups (WLI Circles) that gather monthly for confidential input and frank discussions on business and personal opportunities and challenges, education and idea exchange, and personal growth and support. ULI Leaders will serve as Guest Mentors who are available to attend meetings and share insights and stories from their career journey to help participants learn and grow.

The deadline to apply for the WLI Mentor Circle Program on Navigator is May 31, 2020. Please note this program is only open to Full Members and WLI Circle members are asked to pledge $500 to the WLI Annual Fund.

Please contact [email protected] or [email protected] with any questions.
