Bell Nunnally Partner Ross Angus Williams has been appointed by the Dallas Association of Young Lawyers (DAYL) as a Leadership Class Facilitator. This brings Williams full circle with the mentorship program as he was a member of the 2011 DAYL Leadership Class.

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.

Beyond his Leadership Class participation, Williams has been heavily involved with DAYL. Engagements include leadership roles with its: “Breakfast with Business Peers Committee;” “Food for Thought Dallas” initiative; and the “Law Book Fair.” He is a DAYL “Fellow” and serves as a DAYL Fellows Officer on the DAYL Foundation Board of Trustees, as Fellows Secretary/Treasurer in 2023 and Fellows Vice Chair in 2024.
