FAQ

Why is ULI raising dues?
Membership dues are a vital source of funding for operations to achieve the strategic goals and initiatives for ULI. They help support our mission to shape the future of the built environment for transformative impact in communities worldwide.

In recent months, the Global Board has been re-evaluating pricing across the world for market reasonability and equity. Canadian membership dues are currently the lowest in the world, standing at around 40% of U.S. rates. In order to address this issue, a plan on dues increase was developed that will be executed in three phases spread over a four-year period with the ultimate goal of reaching 80% parity with U.S. dues rates.

What is the timing of the dues increase?
The first dues increase will go into effect October 1, 2021. The actual increase will occur at the member’s date of renewal. There are subsequent increases planned for January 2023 (to align with Toronto’s Spring Meeting) and July 2024, with the intention to evaluate timing based on membership response.

What if I recently joined or renewed my membership?
If you joined before October 1, you will not be subject to the new rate until the end of your membership term. If you were up for renewal prior to October 1, you will renew at the prior rate. If you are up for renewal on October 31 or after, you will be renewed at the new rate.

If you were up for renewal prior to October 1, but your membership lapsed, you will rejoin at the new rate.

Can I renew early?
If you are up for renewal on or after October 31 and choose to renew before October 1, you will renew at the prior rate. You can renew at any point in your current term by going to my.uli.org and clicking on “Renew My ULI Membership Now”. Members enrolled in autorenewal and monthly instalments can also elect to extend membership at the current
rate.
