The ULI Charlotte Governance Committee, which consists of present and past chairs of the District Councils, public sector members and longtime members of ULI, issued a call for interest for the Chair position while actively qualifying members.  After discussing candidates, the Governance Committee nominated Philip Payne as the new ULI Charlotte Chair.  The Committee believes Philip’s perspective will offer a unique opportunity for growth of the District Council.  Ed Walter, ULI Interim Americas CEO and by Jack Chandler, ULI Americas Chairman, confirmed the nomination.
