Bradley Arant Boult Cummings LLP attorney and TBA member Alé Dalton has been selected for the Hispanic National Bar Association’s 2020 Latina Leadership Academy. According to a press release from Bradley, the Latina Leadership Academy offers leadership training on areas that are key to shattering glass ceilings and securing the advancement and long-term success of Latina attorneys. Dalton earned her law degree from the University of Tennessee College of Law and is a member of Bradley’s Healthcare Practice Group. She was a member of the TBA’s Diversity Leadership Institute Class of 2016 and is a member of the Health Law Section and the Young Lawyers Division. In a 2018 interview with Bradley, Dalton said one of her passions was increasing diversity in the legal profession, especially for women of color. “Latinas represent less than 2% of the total U.S. lawyer population and are the most statistically underrepresented attorney group in nearly every legal sector,” she said. “While the numbers are improving, there is a lot of work to be done.”
