As we celebrate AAPI Heritage Month, ULI San Francisco proudly joins the nation in recognizing the important contributions and achievements of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities throughout the month of May. This heritage month is also recognized as Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month (AANHPI).

As an organization committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, ULI is dedicated to amplifying the voices of our AAPI members, colleagues, and communities, and promoting racial equity in the commercial real estate industry. As we commemorate AAPI Heritage Month, we reaffirm our commitment to intentionally acknowledging the contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders throughout the year. We remain committed to pursuing unrelenting efforts to shape the built environment toward diverse, equitable, and inclusive communities.

Please join us throughout the month as we continue our tradition of reading, watching, listening, and acting.
