Women To Watch

Named the first female partner of SiebenCarey in 1993

Lots of people aspire to make a career of helping people. Susan Holden is someone who has actually lived up to that ideal. She is one of the very few women in Minnesota who is certified as a civil trial specialist - a distinction that less than 1 percent of female attorneys achieve. And her litigation work on personal injury and other types of cases led her to her being named the first female partner of SiebenCarey, Minneapolis, in 1993.

She has built on her success in the courtroom by being active in many professional organizations. Holden was recently elected president of the Minnesota State Bar Association. Her predecessor, David Stowman, said she will be outstanding in that role.
