The National Black Lawyers is a professional honorary organization established to promote the nation’s top black attorneys and to enhance the professional development of its members. The 40 Under 40 recognition was “created to celebrate legal excellence by promoting attorneys as subject-matter experts [and to develop] a strong national network of top African American attorneys.”

In addition, Dailey was recently selected to serve on the national board of the Pipeline to Practice Foundation, which supports and nurtures low-income law students at critical academic and professional development stages by providing access to programming and coaching critical to achieving academic excellence in law school, developing the skills necessary to be successful attorneys, creating pathways to leadership positions, and becoming role models to the next generation of law students.
