2024 WLI Championship Team Nominations Now Open!

2024 WLI Championship Team Nominations Now Open!

January 17, 2024

In 2014, the Women’s Leadership Initiative (WLI) of the Urban Land Institute (ULI) Toronto, set a mandate to advance and recognize women leaders in the city-building industry within the Greater Toronto and Greater Golden Horseshoe region, and the first class of the WLI Championship Team was born.

Annually, inspiring women from the real estate and land use development industry in the Greater Toronto and Greater Golden Horseshoe Region are nominated by their peers, and formally welcomed as new inductees to the WLI Championship Team at the annual WLI reception in June. Details for the 2024 WLI reception to be announced soon.

We invite you to nominate a female-identifying leader who has demonstrated excellent leadership and mentorship within the real estate development, land use, and/or city-building industry in the Greater Toronto and Greater Golden Horseshoe Region. As ULI Toronto is committed to dismantling systemic barriers to success, we encourage you to identify and nominate those individuals within your network who have demonstrated excellence in our industry, particularly those from equity-seeking groups, and people of all backgrounds, abilities, ages, ethnicities, gender identities or sexual orientations.

  • The Selection Committee will use a scale between 0 – 5 to identify each nominee’s degrees of excellence in satisfying each of the criteria, based on the information provided. The selection will then be made based on the overall scoring.
  • To ensure a holistic evaluation of the nominees, it is crucial for the Selection Committee to have as much detail as possible about the nominee’s achievements.
Nominations are due by Friday March 22, 2024.

We have changed the process to be a 1-step nomination process, where only the nominator is responsible for completion of the application and nominees will not be notified of the nomination by ULI unless they are selected.
