Cheryl Dalby ’95 to Become CEO of MSBA, HCBA, and RCBA

Cheryl Dalby ’95 has accepted the position of chief executive officer of the Minnesota State Bar Association, Hennepin County Bar Association, and Ramsey County Bar Associations.

The combined CEO position was created after the boards of directors of the three associations decided in June 2018 to adopt a shared staff model to better coordinate efforts, increase efficiencies, and improve member value. Dalby, who has served as executive director of the Ramsey County Bar Association for the last 18 years, was selected after a nationwide search.

“I am thrilled to lead the bar associations into a collaborative future,” said Dalby in a joint announcement that the bar groups sent to members.

The current MSBA executive director, Tim Groshens, is retiring after decades in that position. The current HCBA executive director, Susie Brown, will serve as chief operating officer of the associations.
