Bailey is a sixth-generation Floridian and a lifelong resident of
Sarasota County. He is well-known for both his professional and civic
life. Dan is a shareholder with Williams Parker Harrison Dietz &
Getzen, and his civic and community contributions run broad and deep
throughout Sarasota, our region and the entire state of Florida. Dan is
one of the founding fathers of SCOPE and helped shape early discussions

Boundary Crossers are leaders who step outside of their area of
expertise or comfort to work across sectors in the community. Dan
Bailey demonstrates this leadership time and time again with the broad
range of organizations in which he takes part. His leadership in the
community includes: American Red Cross, United Way of Sarasota County,
First Baptist Church, Kiwanis, Sarasota County Civic League, Education
Foundation of Sarasota County, Sarasota Bar Association, Ringling
College of Art & Design, Enzyme, Citizens Tax Oversight Committee
and SCOPE |
Each
year since 2005, SCOPE has honored a community member with the Boundary
Crosser Leadership Award. The award is given annually to honor a
Boundary Crosser who resides and builds community in Sarasota County.
A Boundary Crosser is a person who connects people across boundary
lines that traditionally divide community. They are citizen leaders who
extend past their familiar territory, whether that’s government,
non-profits, business, ethnic groups, religion, or neighborhoods to
become community builders.
The honoree is given a sculpture of a
tree, symbolizing Boundary Crossers who branch out to find unmarked
territories and new possibilities for the future.
