ULI Michigan’s annual Larson Center for Leadership is a curriculum-based program
designed to educate and mentor the next generation of Michigan leaders. The mission of the Larson Center for Leadership is to cultivate leadership development by informing a select group of emerging leaders as to the transformative dynamics emerging within Michigan’s real estate and land use industries, and to promote their engagement in the process. The program is named for the late Robert C. Larson, a nationally recognized and respected Michigan real estate professional, Chairman Emeritus of Larson Realty Group, trustee of the Urban Land Institute, and former chair of the ULI Foundation. ULI Michigan’s Larson Center for Leadership operates under the Urban Land Institute’s national Larson Leadership Initiative.
The eight-month program is comprised of eight program days and a group project. Each program day has a specific topic of focus, and takes place at different locations around the Metro Detroit area. Individual program days are hosted by a Larson Center for Leadership Sponsor/Partners organizations.
