Kirsten Ekdahl Hull, Portfolio Manager, McCaffery Interests, Inc., is one of ten recipients of a Women’s Leadership Initiative (WLI) Scholarship in connection with the ULI Fall Meeting, October 21-23, 2014 in New York City.  The mission of the WLI is to raise the visibility and number of women leaders in ULI and the real estate industry.  The competitive Scholarship Program fulfills a key objective of the Initiative by recognizing and supporting outstanding women members of ULI.

Over 130 scholarship applications were received and those chosen had a compelling background and a strong commitment to the mission of both ULI and the WLI.  In addition to complimentary registration for the ULI Fall Meeting and a stipend, scholarship winners  are assigned a WLI Mentor and invited to a Product Council to fully engage in the ULI National experience.

Scholarship winners will be introduced at the ULI Fall Meeting and will enjoy all WLI-branded events during the 3-day event to network, share, and learn more about advancing in ULI.  Following the Fall Meeting, recipients submit a summary of their experiences and lessons learned.

Kirsten is a long-time member of the ULI Chicago Program Committee and has been a co-chair of our Vision Awards for the past three years.  Congratulations!
