The second quarter of the year is in full swing and ULI South Carolina is not slowing down. In addition to the many events coming up around the state, planning for the Capital Markets conference is underway and our first Mentorship Program is kicking off in the Upstate. In addition, the second UrbanPlan class is underway at the College of Charleston, with the inaugural Wando High School class commencing in May.

At a national level, ULI just hosted the Spring Meeting in Nashville (see the “More From ULI” section for insights from the meeting) and is continuing its investment in technology that improves member experience and expands opportunities for engagement and knowledge sharing.
