What can we do?

ULI St. Louis is committed to seeing St. Louis grow and thrive. For everyone.

It’s not enough to just invite our Black friends to meetings, hope they show up, and then wave when they do. It’s not enough to have a woman on a panel. And then make sure there is a person of color.  It’s not enough.

It’s not enough. 

As an organization with a foundation of convening people around best practices and sharing knowledge to help our communities grow and thrive, here is what we, as an organization, will be doing – or continuing to do – to end racism.

Yes, ULI is a real estate industry organization, and yes we have/the industry has played a role in the structures that led to many of the inequities we still see today. Join us in dismantling those inequities and making St. Louis truly a city for all.
