ULI has published its 2014 Annual Report in a digital-first format now available at annualreport.uli.org. This stand-alone website gives ULI members, supporters, partners, and the public a comprehensive overview of the Institute’s impacts, accomplishments, and programs during the 2014 fiscal year, which extended from July 1, 2013, through June 30, 2014.
The 2014 Annual Report tells stories of ULI members making a positive impact every day in their communities, and it highlights members’ extraordinary contributions in advancing the ULI mission to create thriving, sustainable communities worldwide. The digital format reflects the Institute’s commitment to harnessing the power of technology to engage audiences in ways that reflect how they consume information—increasingly through mobile devices. This format also enables ULI to reduce its carbon footprint and promote sustainable practices when producing and delivering content.
The report is anchored by messages from the Institute’s top leadership on what made the year productive and successful, as well as by stories of ULI’s impact around the world. The stories are organized by six top-level priorities: advising communities in need; shaping cities and regions; developing excellence through education; driving innovation in real estate and urban development; building sustainably; and connecting capital and the built environment.
“The expansion of the Institute’s influence in 2014—illustrated through progress ranging from successful Advisory Services panels related to health and resilience to the introduction of new knowledge-sharing tools—is a reflection of the contributions each of our members is making to ULI’s legacy,” says ULI Chairman Lynn Thurber. “By giving back expertise, time, and support, each member has helped ULI solidify its reputation as a global organization unified in its pursuit of creating better communities.”
The report also shares the Institute’s financial performance and highlights from individual programs, centers, and initiatives from 2014. To explore the full document, go to annualreport.uli.org.
