Mission Statement
Just as ULI
adopted its mission statement 65 years ago, ULI's
Charlotte District Council has endeavored to craft one of its
own. Our mission statement embraces the same core values of
our parent organization, yet reflects the unique qualities of
our local membership:
"Completing the ULI experience at a local
level, through continuing education, research and the exchange of ideas
and experiences, to promote responsible leadership in the use of land
for the betterment of our community."
This statement will be featured in all facets
of our communications program targeted at members and strategic partners
throughout the region. As members, we must uphold the commitment
contained within its language.
