“This award recognizes attorneys who strive to meet the many responsibilities of a lawyer, including efforts to improve the administration of justice and practice of law, efforts to promote access to justice, efforts to serve and govern the profession, and service of benefit to the community,” wrote Cheryl Dalby, MSBA Chief Executive Officer, in the announcement letter to Holden. “The nomination made on your behalf clearly shows that you have exemplified professionalism with outstanding service to the Minnesota State Bar, the legal profession, and the public throughout your career.”
“I’m honored and frankly humbled to be included alongside this list of many of the most accomplished members of Minnesota’s legal community,” said Holden, “including Magistrate Jill Prohofsky with the Minnesota State Court Administrator’s office, another recipient of the 2023 award.
