“The ULI Mentorship program creates an environment for professionals to exchange ideas, network, and communicate directly to active community leaders. It’s interactive nature sparks great opportunity to meet industry wide professionals from different backgrounds and trades. Cannot recommend this program enough!”
“ULI Dallas-Fort Worth’s Mentorship Forum is a relaxed, yet intentional, group that brings together industry leaders for purposes of networking and getting a “behind-the-scenes” look at transformative projects in DFW. The objectives of the group remain the same year to year, but each class shapes the trajectory of the 6-8 month timeframe thereby encouraging ownership in the group rather than just participation. If you are slightly interested in learning more, I encourage you to apply (even if that means stepping out of your comfort zone) – you won’t regret it!”
“As a designer and project manager, (Mentorship) Forum really opened my eyes to the fascinating stories behind what it took to get a variety of projects off the ground and to the point that a design consultant would traditionally have been engaged. This learning experience has been invaluable as I learn and grow both internally within my own firm and externally within the industry as a whole.”
“ULI’s (Mentorship) Forum provides young professionals in the real estate industry an excellent opportunity to network with their peers and learn from experts in the field that have a wealth of knowledge to share. During my time in the program, I was able to forge lasting connections and get a “behind-the-scenes” look at some of the most interesting new developments and redevelopments that have shaped communities across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Throughout the past year, our group was able to meet and learn from industry leaders from some of the most reputable DFW based firms, such as: Hillwood, American Airlines, Crescent Real Estate, and many others. I would urge all young professionals in any sector of the real estate industry to apply to this program.”
“ULI Dallas-Fort Worth’s (Mentorship) Forum provides you the opportunity to develop critical business connections in a relaxed environment. If you are looking for informal experiences to connect with ULI members, while also touring and learning about Dallas’ or Fort Worth’s more interesting projects, then ULIDFW’s YLG (Mentorship) Forum is for you. The group is energetic, eager to learn, and events are more captivating than standard ULI events. I plan on applying again this year.”
