Leadership Program for Planned Communities and Urban Infill – Spring 2011

WHA is active in many organizations including the Urban Land Institute (ULI) because we support the ULI mission to provide leadership in the responsible use of land and in creating and sustaining thriving communities worldwide.

As a member of the ULI Orange County/Inland Empire District Council Executive Committee and vice-chair of the newly created Builder Liaison position, I encourage anyone who is interested in hearing from some of the key leaders in our industry to sign up for the Leadership Program for Planned Communities and Urban Infill – Spring 2011.  John Martin of Martin and Associates will moderate this 10-week program, that will be held Wednesday’s from 6:30-9:30, at Merit Property Management in Aliso Viejo starting this Wednesday!

This program is based on a popular and very successful lecture series presented in the Fall of 2010.  The program is exceptional for both young and seasoned professionals in both the public and private sector and since it is in an intimate setting, it feels like a private Q&A session with these fantastic leaders.  You will hear some of the lessons learned and how they are being put into practice today, what are the new drivers of demand, have plans been altered to adjust to today’s market and what is their vision for the future.

Back by popular demand are some speakers from the Fall session, such as:

Tony Moiso – President and CEO, Rancho Mission Viejo

Tom Martin – VP, FivePoint Communities

Bert Selva – President, Shea Homes

Adrian Foley and Carina Hathaway – President and VP Marketing & Sales (respectively), Brookfield

Mike LeBlanc – Senior VP of Entitlement, The Irvine Company

Steve Kellenberg – VP, AECOM

Melinda Masson – President and CEO, Merit Property Management

Paul Johnson – Senior VP, Rancho Mission Viejo

Randy Jackson – President, The Planning Center

Plus new speakers:

Randall Lewis – Executive VP, Lewis Operating Corp.

Mark Buckland – CEO, City Ventures

Scott Stowell – COO, Standard Pacific Homes

Mollie Carmichael – Principal, John Burns Consulting

Today, March 28, 2011 is the last day to sign up on line and save $100 (email Kendra.Chandler@uli.org or call the ULI OC/IE office at (949) 585-2995 for details).  Otherwise, registrations will be taken through April 15^th.

I hope to see you there!
