Mid-Year Sponsorship OpportunityIf you are interested in looking at economical ways to stretch your marketing dollars, consider doing a mid-year annual sponsorship with the ULI Orange County/Inland Empire. A $2,500 investment would afford your firm a sponsorship at the $5,000 level through Dec. 2009. The ULI Orange County/Inland Empire has a database of more than 3,800 names that reach ULI members and industry professionals in the region. Your firm would be prominently listed as a sponsor on the ULI Orange County website and in all of the District Council e-blasts. At this sponsorship level, a free ULI membership is also included as well as complimentary program registrations. For more information, click here.
Workforce Housing Resource GuideThere is no standard process for building workforce housing—each development requires creativity and collaboration. However, this resource guide reviews some popular strategies. Three types of actors use these strategies: local governments, the nonprofit sector, and the private sector. Ideally, all three will contribute toward housing our Orange County workforce—alone, each will struggle. For more information, click here.
Help Us Find Your PeersAs everyone knows, things have been changing a lot throughout the past months. At ULI Orange County, we have compiled a list of people’s email addresses that have came back to us marked “Return to Sender,” because the contact email address we have is for a company they have since left. This is where you can help ULI Orange County by viewing the list of inactive email addresses and let us know how we can get back in touch with these professionals. Keeping the lines of communication open is very important at ULI, so we greatly appreciate everyone’s assistance in providing us with updated contact information. To view the list, click here. Please email us at orangecounty@uli.org. Thank you.
