Responsibilities of a Council Member
Council participation is a key benefit available only to
ULI Full Members. ULI's 44 domestic Councils meet twice yearly, in
conjunction with the Spring Council Forum and Fall Meeting. ULI's
Global Councils meet twice a year outside the U.S. and sometimes at the
ULI Fall Meeting.
Appointment to a Council is a privilege. A Council member must
attend two out of three consecutive Council meetings in order to retain
his/her Council appointment. Please note that a Council members'
attendance record carries over when appointed to a new Council and that
one only receives credit for attending the meeting of the Council to
which they are appointed. Those dropped from the Council must wait
for one year before being considered again for Council
membership. The ULI Chairman may decide on an individual basis if a
Council Member's absence should be excused.
Council
Attendance Policy
For attendance at Council meetings
to be counted, three conditions must be met:
- Since Council Meeting Day is part of the ULI Meeting
for a Council member, each Council member must be registered for the
entire ULI Meeting.
- Each Council member must attend the Council meeting in
person—sending a substitute is not permitted.
- Each Council member must sign an attendance sheet
during the Council meeting, as this provides the only record of
one’s attendance.

Council Facts
- Only ULI Full Members are eligible to participate on
Councils.
- ULI membership must be current and Council Affiliation
Fees (CAF) paid within 60 days following appointment in order to remain
on a Council.
- Council members, upon payment of the CAF, agree to
remain on the Council to which they have been appointed for a period of
one year (through June 30 of the year of their appointment).
- Each Council has 50 members plus those off the
count--Emeritus, Honorary, Life Council, Advisors, Fellows, and
Corporate Sustaining Affiliates are not included in the current
50-member count.
- Councils are responsible, through their Program Vice
Chairs, for the programming that takes place during the main concurrent
programming days of the Spring Council Forums and Fall Meetings.
- The Assistant Chair is responsible, through member
suggestions, for programming that takes place on Council Day.
- Councils meet for a full day of private meetings at the
annual Fall Meeting and Spring Council Forum.
- Council members must attend their own Council meeting
for a minimum of 4 hours and sign the attendance sheet in order to
receive attendance credit.
- Councils get together for a dinner or reception one
evening during each Meeting (usually the evening before the Council Day
Program), so members have an opportunity to get to know each other
socially.

Council
Flights/Colors
- Additional flights (designated by color) are created to
allow more Full Members to participate in the Council program.
- This prevents a long waiting list, which would exist if
each Council consisted of only one flight.
- Flights are added as significant interest is generated
and there is a balanced Wait List of 30 or more members.
- There is no distinction between the various colors
associated with the flights.
