TDLA Emerging Leaders is a Leadership Development Program whereby lawyers in our organization have the opportunity to learn and develop leadership skills and be recognized for their participation in various TDLA activities. Anyone wishing to participate in the Emerging Leaders Program will be able fill out a Progress Tracker, which will have space for each participant to mark when a task is complete.

Any young lawyer members who have completed 6 of 8 tasks from either Level 1 or Level 2 by the time of the next TDLA Annual Meeting and may submit their form this year by September 16th.

Each year, TDLA recognizes our emerging leaders at our Annual Meeting with the Nathan E. Shelby Emerging Leaders Award. The award honors Nathan Shelby (1979-2023), TDLA President-Elect 2022-2023, who was known for his strength in identifying and mentoring young lawyers to fulfill their potential as effective civil defense lawyers, and as emerging leaders in TDLA.
