About the TAP Process
Who are the Panelists?
A TAP consists of unpaid volunteers from the members of the San Diego – Tijuana District Council chosen specifically for each assignment. Panelists usually include at least one for-profit or nonprofit developer, designer and/or planner, market and/or financial analyst, and a regulatory expert. Panelists with a potential conflict of interest will be deferred for other client opportunities.
What are the Deliverables?
Findings are delivered in a PowerPoint presentation at the end of each panel, along with a final report of recommendations.
What is the Application Process?
Clients can apply to the TAPs program at any time. After receiving an application, members of the TAP committee will arrange an initial meeting to understand and refine the assignment and objectives as well as identify key issues. Decisions on whether the committee can accept the panel assignment will be determined shortly after the initial meeting.
How much lead time is necessary?
A three- to four-month lead-time is necessary to provide sufficient time to assemble the best available panel members, compile briefing materials and plan for the logistics of the TAP program. ULI San Diego – Tijuana charges a fee for each of its panels to cover associated costs and staff time.
