ULI YOUNG LEADERS GROUP I entered the CFL and stepped up my volunteer efforts in Atlanta. In a conversation with my mother during this time, she noted I'd just called Atlanta " home " for the first time. Previously, I'd referred only to Chennai that way. Thanks in large part to ULI, Atlanta became more than where I live: it's where I get to serve, where I can make an impact, where I belong. Nearly 10 years ago, when I joined the YLG mentorship program, I never would have imagined that I would have the opportunities that I have today by simply doing my homework, by listening, and just by showing up. I'm grateful to have found a home at ULI. UL SHEBA ROSS is a principal and global director of the Cities and Communities practice for HKS.
