Mission

The mission of the WLI is expressed in its four primary objectives:

• Promote the advancement of women, throughout their careers, as leaders in the real estate industry.
• Increase the number of women who serve in leadership positions in the real estate industry and in ULI.
• Increase the visibility of women leaders in the real estate industry and in ULI.
• Increase the number of women who are active ULI Full members, and support the development of young women members as leaders in ULI and in their professions.

Events

Our goal is to create a program that will inspire you with speakers who have figured out how to break into the elite C-Suite, become their own boss and lead….not all of whom are necessarily in Real Estate, but those who can share advice and lessons in how to succeed.

Events will be held per the established WLI calendar. The WLI Mission will serve as the baseline underlying all events. The events will be generally one of three categories:

Breakfast Series
WLI hosts a monthly member-only breakfast series. This series features women of influence within the real estate and land use industry, technology, marketing, and business with a focus on leadership, professional development & networking.

Quarterly Signature Events
WLI will host one larger (50-100+ attendees) format event lasting 2 or more hours at a larger scale and/or unique venues. This event will likely be centered around paid-for (or volunteer) speakers addressing relevant topics in support of the WLI Mission and theme. The goal is to make these events truly unique, whether by virtue of the venue, the topic, the speaker, and/or the format of the meeting and over time something our members come to highly value.

Pop-up events
WLI will host several “pop-up” events throughout the year that will be fun and activity-driven.

Please see the ULI Atlanta Events Calendar to see a full listing of events!

ChangeMakers: Influential Women in Real Estate and Land Use
Annually, WLI will be committed to highlighting, promoting, and celebrating women in the industry with new inductees into the “ChangeMakers” with a goal of increasing the presence of women in the industry at conferences, in board rooms, and everything in between.  For more information, click here.

Coffee (or Cocktail) Connect
Coffee (or Cocktail) Connect is an easy, no-frills way to meet other women one-on-one within ULI with the goal of building a women’s network one ULI member at a time. Members sign up and are randomly paired with a fellow ULI Atlanta member participant each quarter. After that, it becomes the member’s mission to connect and meet up on their own time and budget for breakfast, coffee, lunch, or cocktails…hence making a new connection.
