One of the Advisory Services offered is the Technical Assistance Panel (TAP) Program, organized by the District Councils. ULI Los Angeles has been at the forefront of the TAP program, offering the expertise of local ULI members to local government and non-profit entities in one-day panels. The TAP program guidelines are the same as those governing the Advisory Services Program:
- All panel assignments promote ULI’s mission of providing responsible leadership in the use of the land to enhance the total environment.
- The panel’s recommendations are unbiased and cannot be modified substantively once given to the sponsor.
- ULI members volunteer their time to serve on the panel and are not compensated for their time.
- A ULI member who has served on a previous assignment chairs the panel.
- No member of the panel has a conflict of interest, real or perceived, by serving on the panel.
To date, ULI Los Angeles has conducted TAPs for the Los Angeles Conservancy, the City of Culver City Redevelopment Agency, the City of Pasadena, and the USC Sustainable Cities Program.
