NEXT
NEXT is both an educational and a network building group, promoting candid discussion from a diversity of perspectives, professional development activities, and engagement with industry leaders for its participants. Become a part of NEXT Idaho. Apply by September 15.
Why Participate?
ULI Idaho’s NEXT program serves to engage members who age out of the Young Leaders program (generally 35-45 year olds). Emphasis will be placed on developing and growing strong relationships with other participants. NEXT Idaho will also promote opportunities for participants to meaningfully participate in ULI Idaho’s existing programs. Through NEXT Idaho participants can attain their goal to remain active ULI members during their rise to leadership positions within the industry.
Meetings and Events
Each flight of ULI Idaho’s NEXT Program will have a quarterly Friday morning breakfast meeting (roughly 2 hours long), as well as about 4 special events for all flights held throughout the year. FY 20 meetings will begin in October.
Leadership
The first instance of ULI Idaho’s NEXT program will include one flight of about 15-20 people. The 3-year membership goal will be to reach a total NEXT membership of 45-50 people divided into 2-3 flights. These flights will be based around when members joined NEXT as well as by geographic location of their workplace (i.e. Boise, West Ada, Canyon, etc).
The ULI Idaho NEXT program will be lead by a Chair upon inception (FY 20). In years 2 and 3, a Vice Chair, a flight leader for each flight will be added to the leadership team. The Chair and Vice Chair will originally be lead by former YLG Leaders and eventually will be chosen from the Flight Leaders. Flight Leaders are chosen from the most active members in each flight.

NEXT Annual Fee
ULI Membership is required to join a NEXT flight. ULI Idaho will charge a $100 fee for private members and $50 for public members.
The fee will cover meeting expenses and contribute to the costs for each Special Event. The purpose of the fee is to ensure that NEXT is completely self-funded for years 1 and 2. IT is the goal to obtain a NEXT Idaho annual sponsor by year 3.
