The Dallas Builders Association is proud to celebrate the exceptional professionals who have successfully completed the 2025 DBA LEADERS program. This year’s graduates are individuals committed to personal growth, professional excellence, and the continued success of our industry. Over the past year, these partici- pants have embarked on an intensive journey, honing their leadership skills and deepening their understanding of the challenges and opportunities fac- ing the residential construction sector. Led by veteran leadership trainer- Tim Lansford, the program provided a unique blend of classroom education, hands-on experiences and mentorship preparing graduates to take on pivotal roles in their companies, communities and the Dallas Builders Association itself. The 2025 cohort tackled a cur- riculum designed to foster growth in key areas such as communication, de- cision-making and strategic planning, while also addressing the dynamic nature of the homebuilding industry. Through workshops and collaborative projects, they developed not only as professionals but also as individuals deeply connected to the Association’s mission and values. As graduates of the DBA LEAD- ERS program, these individuals join a distinguished alumni network that continues to shape the future of the association and the North Texas home- building community. Their dedication, hard work and vision are an inspiration to us all, and we are confident they will continue to make a positive impact wherever their careers take them.
