Women’s Leadership Initiative (WLI)
What is WLI?
The ULI Women’s Leadership Initiative (WLI) was created to raise the visibility and participation of women in ULI and ultimately in the real estate profession. We invite all women of ULI Dallas-Fort Worth to join in, participate and connect with fellow women ULI members via the WLI.
The WLI Dallas-Fort Worth Executive Committee, under the leadership of Chair, Gianna Pigford (Gianna.Pigford@stantec.com ), meets monthly to plan events and set initiatives for the year.
JOIN US for our monthly VIRTUAL Coffees to connect, network, and learn more about ULI and the resources available to you as a member. Dates for these coffees can be found under the Events Section of our ULI Dallas-Fort Worth webpage.

The Women’s Leadership Initiative hosts a minimum of 4 WLI member exclusive events per year. These events prominently feature women of influence within the CRE industry, and can either focus on new developments in the area, or on leadership & networking. ULI Dallas-Fort Worth’s WLI offers quality opportunities for female members to network, learn, and grow together in real estate.
