It’s hard to imagine there have been 93 presidents of the Salesmanship Club of Dallas. And the news is that the 94th president has been announced — Haynes and Boone partner William “Bill” Wilshusen. A member of the Club since 1992, he has held various positions including board chair of the Salesmanship Club Charitable Golf of Dallas that oversees the Club’s golf franchise. And you do know what that “franchise” is — the HP Byron Nelson Championship. Thanks to the funds raised by this bigger-than-huge tournament, funds are made available to “build and repair social emotional health in kids and families.”
“It’s an honor to be chosen to lead an organization that is focused on helping kids and families achieve their potential,” Bill said. “We know that children growing up with few advantages are capable of making incredible gains, even when the odds are stacked against them. Our education and therapeutic programs build on strengths, creating an early understanding about the importance of persistence and determination.”
Other recently elected Club officers include first vice-president Guy Kerr, Belo Corp.; second vice-president Mike Haggerty, Jackson Walker; secretary Blair Oden, CBRE; and treasurer Bob Myers, Myers Commercial, Inc.
