Honoring the Mothers Who Inspire Us | | This Mother’s Day, we take a moment to celebrate and honor the mothers and mother figures whose love, guidance, and resilience make a lasting impact in our families, workplaces, and communities.
From nurturing future generations to leading with strength and compassion, mothers embody service, sacrifice, and perseverance in countless ways. Their influence often extends far beyond the home, shaping communities, mentoring others, and inspiring excellence through both word and example.
DFW-ABA is proud to recognize and celebrate the mothers in our community and all those who have poured into others through care, wisdom, and encouragement.
This Mother’s Day, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to the women who continue to lead, uplift, and inspire.
Wishing you a joyful Mother’s Day filled with love, gratitude, and celebration. 🌺 | |

🎓 2025 Student Achievement Spotlight | | We are proud to recognize our 2025 Scholarship recipient, Javier Solis Jr., a UT Arlington student, for his continued growth, leadership, and commitment to professional development.
Awarded a scholarship at last year’s Student Symposium, Javier has continued to build on that momentum through academic achievement, service, and community engagement.
Since receiving the scholarship, Javier has continued to make meaningful strides, including serving as a panelist at a recent KPMG event, where he shared insights with community college students and reflected on the confidence he has developed through professional and leadership experiences.
Javier enjoys volunteering and watching anime, and he carries with him the quote from Steve Harvey, “Success is not a straight line," a perspective that speaks to determination and outlook.
We are proud to support students like Javier who embody resilience, leadership, and a passion for continued growth.

👋Meet-a-Member: Jailyn Flie
| | My Background and Journey I’m a second-year Audit Associate at Forvis Mazars, serving nonprofit and private college clients while pursuing my CPA. I was introduced to the Alliance through a firm connection and quickly saw the value of the community, mentorship, and opportunities to engage.
My Dream Superpower The ability to stop or extend time. There never seem to be enough hours in the day, and a little extra time would go a long way.
Advice for New Members Put yourself out there and say hello. Building relationships often starts with one conversation, and you never know where it may lead.
My Hobbies & Interests Exploring hidden gems around the city, from estate sales and pop-up markets to discovering new restaurants. (My DFW “to-try” list is 587 places and counting.)
How Friends Would Describe Me Decisive, driven, and caring.
