Meet Ari Paz, the Epitome of Brazen

Ari Paz

Owner of Acción Community Development

You know that feeling you get after that second cup of coffee? That buzzing with excitement kind of feeling? That’s how we felt when we discovered Ari Paz was changing the Dallas landscape through her sustainability-driven company Accion.

“Her advocacy for bringing new development to deserted neighborhoods is what led her to open a local Construction & Real Estate firm, specializing as a bonded utility contractor that builds water and wastewater lines to those who don’t have such access — Accion Community Development (ACD). Accion is the Spanish term for Action, something she felt a calling for.” (You can read more about Ari + her team at https://www.accioncd.com/)

Her company is bilingual, further supporting accessibility in the sustainability industries. Ari was born and raised in Dallas, helping her draw from the deep history and multiple cultures that make our community great as she cultivated a company that is vital for our region’s forward-thinking growth.

We want to give a major welcome to Ari as our second Brazen winner! Another woman who is further defining this bold word for us.
