ULI San Francisco is excited to launch our newly formed Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) committee on August 27, 2020! The EDI committee will provide guidance on our District Council programming and governance. This group will work collaboratively to develop policies and best practices to move our organization forward.

The EDI committee is co-chaired by Rosalyn Hughey, Director of the Department of Planning, Building, and Code Enforcement for the City of San Jose; Sean Brooks, Director of Real Estate and Property Development at BART; and Jim Ellis, Managing Principal of Ellis Partners.

We received over 50+ great applications to join the committee and it was a difficult decision to select a group with the right mix of diverse professional and personal experiences. We’re proud to announce the final roster of EDI committee members:

• Nabihah Azim, Senior Project Manager, Mercy Housing
