Who are the Young Leaders?

The ULI Southwest Florida Leaders Group (YLG) is a unique multi-disciplinary forum for young professionals under the age of 35 committed to helping build the region’s next generation of land use and real estate development industry leaders. The Young Leaders Group creates opportunities for our region’s young professionals to build relationships that will help them advance in their careers, and develop the skills and knowledge needed to become the next generation of successful real estate industry leaders.

Why Be a Young Leader?

Becoming an active YLG member is an invaluable springboard and resource for young professionals wishing to catapult the success of their real estate career. Involvement offers the following benefits:

1. Special events for YLG Members. These events often provide helpful industry knowledge while giving you the opportunity to establish and expand networks that will last your entire career.
2. Mentoring & Connections. Get access to our regional’s real estate leaders in a casual and candid environment, providing opportunities to lessons-learned and true insight into the path taken by those that have come before.
3. Leadership Opportunities – getting involved with council committees, putting together YLG events and chairing programs gives you the opportunity to set yourself apart in the industry and make close connections with top industry and ULI leaders.
