ULI Washington Taps New Chair, Director of Outreach

WASHINGTON, DC-John Slidell, principal and founding partner of The Bozzuto Group, has been named Chair of the Urban Land Institute’s Washington District Council. Slidell’s term runs through July 1, 2013. In addition, Alia D. Anderson is joining the organization as its new director of community outreach.

The two are coming on board as ULI Washington prepares for a greater focus on regional issues. This is not to say the ULI Washington’s core strengths will be de-emphasized, Anderson tells GlobeSt.com. “For example, there are two programs that are very popular with members—the urban planning program and urban assistance—which will be given a lot of support and attention. However, the District Council has also recently completed a strategic plan that also looks at new strategic directions.”
