ULI San Francisco: WLI Connects Cohort Application 2023
ULI San Francisco’s Women’s Leadership Initiative (WLI) is excited to reintroduce WLI Connects, a cohort program designed to provide mid- to senior- level women in the industry with the opportunity to connect with their peers. This full-year offering builds upon the successes and experiences of our six-month pilot program, which launched in September 2022.
Women have made many strides in our industries over the past decade; yet, challenges unique to women professionals remain. WLI Connects acknowledges these challenges and offers a safe and inclusive space for professional growth networking, discussions, and support.
This 12-month program will run from May 2023 to April 2024, with self-organized monthly meetings consisting of case studies, inspirational speakers, happy hours, tours, book clubs, and more. Cohorts will consist of 7-12 participants, and each cohort will have a coordinator. If you would like to be a cohort coordinator, please express your interest in the application and hold May 11 from 3-4 pm for an in-person welcome + orientation at the ULI SF office, followed by the kickoff happy hour (4-6 pm). The number of cohorts and leaders are dependent on the number of applications.
WLI Connects is a ULI member-exclusive offering, open to associate and full members of ULI San Francisco with 10+ years of experience. Registration fees are $95 for private sector members and $55 for public sector/non-profit members. Not a member yet? Visit uli.org/join to learn more.
As with all ULI cohort programs, this is an opportunity for frank and candid conversations. The discussions within these cohorts are confidential. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to connect with women leaders in our industry and share best practices, advice, and support. Applications will be accepted until 11:59 pm PDT on April 23. Late applications will not be accepted.
Save the date! We will be hosting a kickoff happy hour on Thursday, May 11 from 4-6 pm at HiDive (Pier 28) in San Francisco. Cohort leaders will meet at the ULI SF office at 2 Bryant Street from 3-4 pm for a welcome orientation. Participants will be able to meet one another and organize their meetings for the year ahead!
