In local communities, ULI District Councils bring together a variety of stakeholders to find solutions and build consensus around land use and development challenges. The ULI South Carolina District Council was formed in 2005 to encourage dialogue on land use and planning throughout this state and with each of the three main regions (Upstate, Midlands, Coastal), and to provide tools and resources, leadership development, and a forum through which the state can become better connected.

The District Council is led by an Executive Committee with statewide and regional representation, as well as steering committees within each region that focus on the development of membership, sponsorship, programs and Young Leader initiatives. With some 500 members, ULI South Carolina is committed to bringing together leaders from across the fields of real estate and land use policy to exchange best practices and serve community needs.

Leadership in our District Council is comprised of the Management, Governance, and Executive Committees. The committees are composed of leading real estate and land use professionals who volunteer their time to build a strong presence for ULI within South Carolina. The Management Committee serves as our governing body, and all members of this committee serve a two-year renewable term, commencing with ULI’s fiscal year.

ULI South Carolina focuses on topics that are relevant to all involved in the future of our states communities.  Our District Council will use available resources to strengthen decision making and idea generation at a statewide level. ULI South Carolina is committed to:

• Leadership development
• Weaving together a statewide vision and capacity for responsible land use that recognizes the uniqueness of each region
• the South Carolina Quality Growth Initiative 
• the benefit  and role of the ULI Senior Fellows

Because of the distinctive character of the communities within each of South Carolina’s three geographical regions, the District Council will also work to share knowledge at the local and regional level in order to form solid partnerships and examine close-to-home issues.  In each region- the Upstate, Midlands and Coastal- ULI South Carolina will:

• showcase “best practices” as a means of learning and building capacity
• provide a safe environment for dialogue among all areas of the public, private and nongovernmental sectors
• share information at the local level through valuable educational programs and topic-specific task forces .

Our District Council operates as a statewide entity, but membership is largely focused in the Upstate, Midlands, and Coastal regions.  Each of these three regions has an Executive Committee comprised of members dedicated to the advancement of our statewide missions.
