District Councils support best practices in land use through education programs, mentoring, networking events, project tours, policy work, and advisory services. By offering nonpartisan, unbiased expertise to community leaders, District Councils positively influence such issues as compact development, transportation, urban design and workforce housing. In 2013, ULI Colorado won ULI’s first “Impact Award” as the District Council (among 57 in North America) with the most positive influence on its community and membership.

With almost 1,300 members, ULI Colorado is one of ULI’s largest District Councils. ULI Colorado engages its members to help them build their careers and participate in their community. In the past year alone, 15 ULI committees have attracted 250 volunteers and developed programs attended by thousands. Our Young Leaders Group (YLG) is over 250 strong with monthly educational and social programs. ULI Colorado’s executive committee is chaired by Tracy Huggins, Executive Director of the Denver Urban Renewal Authority. Our Vice Chair is Mike Zoellner, Managing Partner at ZF Capital, our Treasurer is Mark Tompkins of Strae Advisory Services, and our Governance Chair is Bruce O’Donnell, President at Starboard Realty Group.
