Director of Outreach, ULI Boston
About ULI Boston
The Urban Land Institute is a nonprofit research and education organization with 48,000 members across every discipline of land use and real estate. ULI Boston is one of our most active district councils, bringing together developers, planners, architects, public officials and community leaders across Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire and Connecticut. The team is small and the work is tangible. We run technical assistance panels for communities working through real housing and development challenges, deliver the Homeward program to help communities think through their housing futures, and bring Urban Plan for Public Officials to decision-makers across the region. The people who do this work see its impact directly, in communities, in policy conversations and in the relationships, they build with some of the most influential voices in New England's built environment.
