TAMPA, FL — Shumaker Attorney Arianna Hernandez has been selected for the 2025-2026 Class of the Hillsborough County Bar Association (HCBA) Bar Leadership Institute (BLI), where she joins similarly driven lawyers looking to hone their leadership skills while contributing their time and talent to local organizations.
The BLI is an annual program aimed at helping young attorneys of diverse backgrounds grow into leaders for both the HCBA and the wider community. Consisting of monthly learning modules and site visits, participants work collaboratively to develop the skills necessary to succeed in a leadership role in professional and community service settings, discuss pressing issues facing the legal community, and identify community causes to which they want to contribute. The program concludes with a community service project that is chosen, managed, and completed by the BLI class, putting their new skills to the test for a good cause.
"Arianna is a resourceful attorney who is dedicated to the success of her clients—all of which track well to the goals of the HCBA Bar Leadership Institute," said Shumaker Partner Dan DeLeo. "She is a self-starter and already shows a natural penchant for leadership, and I look forward to seeing how her participation in this program helps her along that journey."
