ULI memberships are global – members can participate in ULI events, virtually or in-person, in any city where ULI has a District Council. Each ULI member is also assigned to a District Council which provides local programming and content. ULI members in East Tennessee are part of ULI Nashville, while West Tennessee members are part of ULI Memphis.

ULI Nashville now regularly hosts events in Chattanooga and Knoxville. These events provide quality networking and content for ULI members and non-members including project tours, happy hours, and panel discussions. Check our Events page for any upcoming East Tennessee events, and reach out to Kate Hyde if you’d like to be added to our list to be notified when East Tennessee events get added.

We are also grateful for the participation and support of our ULI Nashville East Tennessee Steering Committee and 2025 East Tennessee Sponsors!
