From ULI Idaho District Council Chair, Danielle Hurd

“Urban Land Institute (ULI) Idaho enjoyed a successful Fiscal Year 2020. Despite interruption from COVID-19, we ended the year with 248 active members; and are so far seeing most members renew and stay engaged. We were able to maintain our expanded program engagement and revenue levels necessary for sustaining ULI Idaho’s day-to-day operations, including full-time staff support. And, we celebrated the successful pilot implementation of UrbanPlan with the University of Idaho…”

Accomplishments

Three New Initiatives Launched:

Maintaining a Statewide Presence, ULI Idaho:

• Hosted our first virtual programs allowing members and attendees from anywhere to engage.

By the Numbers

ULI Idaho hosted 37 events, with 60 speakers, made possible by 47 event sponsors, reaching 1,637 event participants in FY 20.

Membership has continued to grow, with 248 members at year-end. Our council has 35 Full Members and is increasing diversity with 35% women, 20% Young Leaders (under 35), and 19% NEXT (35-45), and nearly 26% are based outside of Ada County.

ULI Idaho ended the year with a $13,522 surplus which was added to our reserves and will be used to sustain our council in case of a market downturn.

We look forward to FY 21 and plan to:

1. Expand UrbanPlan to engage with public officials and community leaders,
2. Create more opportunities for member engagement through committees and initiatives, and
3. Form regional committees to grow and sustain activity in North and Eastern Idaho.
