Our name may be ULI Philadelphia, but we cover a much greater region.  Our nearly 1,000 members provide leadership in the responsible use of land and in creating and sustaining thriving communities throughout the eastern half of Pennsylvania, the southern half of New Jersey, and the State of Delaware.

Around the country, ULI has become the most respected and significant land use and development organization in our industry.  Established in 1936, ULI is a "university without walls" -- a non-profit education and research institute with more than 34,000 members throughout the world, representing the entire spectrum of the land use and development disciplines across both the private and public sectors.  Our members include developers, builders, property owners, investors, architects, planners, real estate brokers, financiers, appraisers, attorneys, engineers, financiers, public officials, academics, students, and librarians.

When you join ULI, you become part of a worldwide network of land use professionals, with access to conferences and education around the globe.  New members receive a 40% discount on their initial order from the renowned ULI Bookstore -- a benefit worth the cost of membership alone.

ULI globally and locally has made tremendous strides over the past several years and grown into a dynamic, relevant and vital organization.  We continue to build on a strong foundation of terrific programming and significant community outreach with several new initiatives on infrastructure, public policy, and special programming such our recent sold-out “Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2007” forum and an exclusive presentation on America’s place in world economics – given recently to our Full/Product Council Members by the Chief Economist of The Royal Bank of Scotland Group.

You can get involved by serving on a committee, attending forums and programs, and through sponsorship.   I look forward to hearing your ideas and working with you.  Call me at 215-717-0722 or email me anytime at kbalin@amcdelancey.com.
