Bell Nunnally Associate Kimberly A. Cruz has been accepted into the Dallas Association of Young Lawyers’ (DAYL) 2024 “Leadership Class.”

Started in 1997, the DAYL Leadership Class connects young lawyers who want to grow their leadership skills and make a difference in their community and the bar. It provides opportunities to develop relationships with local city leaders, network with other young lawyers through group activities and deploy newly developed leadership skills. By promoting leadership development within the bar association as well as within Dallas’s nonprofit and civic communities, the DAYL Leadership Class provides a forum for identifying the many ways to give back to North Texas.

More than 850 lawyers have participated in the DAYL Leadership Class and have taken what they have learned to advance their careers, serve and lead non-profit and for-profit boards, serve in elected positions and hold civic positions. Its alumni include judges, general counsels, law school professors, city leaders and law-firm name partners. The DAYL Leadership Class has been emulated by bar associations across the state and the country and serves as a gateway for leadership among lawyers in the Dallas area.

Bell Nunnally has a long history of supporting and participating in the DAYL Leadership Class. Since the program’s inception, partners R. Heath Cheek, Saba F. Syed, Ross Angus Williams, Perrin B. Fourmy and David G. Webster, as well as Senior Counsel Jonathan Aldaco and associates Joshua D. Fuller, Mason G. Jones and Sydnie A. Shimkus have participated.

Partner Ross Angus Williams is one of many Bell Nunnally “Leadership Class” alums, and he is serving as a facilitator for the 2024 cohort.
