The Detroit Bar Association announced on Friday the appointment of Tracey Cooley as its new executive director.
With a distinguished career in the nonprofit and legal sectors spanning 30 years, Cooley brings a wide range of experience, knowledge, leadership, and dedication to the Detroit Bar in her new role.
“I am very honored and humbled to accept this position with such a prestigious association. I look forward to collaborating with the membership, staff, and board in furtherance of the mission, vision, and goals,” said Cooley.
As the executive director, Cooley will lead the Detroit Bar in its mission to create and serve a legal community that promotes professionalism and integrity of the legal profession; supports access to justice; and fosters relationships and equity of opportunity for all lawyers.
With a deep understanding of the association’s rich history and its current landscape, Cooley is poised to drive innovation and guide the Detroit Bar in leading the lawyers of today and tomorrow to be ready to address the most pressing concerns of the legal community and optimize conditions to achieve access to justice.
“We are excited to have Tracey Cooley assume the role of executive director,” said Detroit Bar President Zenell Brown. “She not only brings a wealth of experience and appreciation of the Detroit Bar Association’s history and current status, Tracey, as executive director has the capacity, drive, and commitment to help us address the most pressing concerns of the legal community.”
President-Elect Tiffany Ellis expressed enthusiasm for Cooley’s leadership, stating, “As one of the oldest bar associations in the country, the Detroit Bar has long worked to support the pillars of justice our legal system requires. Under Tracey’s leadership, our work will continue to evolve to meet the needs of a changing society and the practice of law. We are thrilled about the new energy and ideas to innovate that Tracey brings to the organization and our community as a whole.”
Cooley brings a unique blend of vision, experience, and dedication to her role as executive director, positioning the Detroit Bar Association for continued growth and impact under her leadership. She has more than three decades of experience in the nonprofit and legal communities with Sparrow Freedom Project as executive director, Kevelighan & Kevelighan PC as senior attorney, Hope Against Trafficking as executive director, Junior League of Birmingham in many leadership roles, Bloomfield Hills Schools in many leadership roles, Law Offices of Dehai Tao as an Immigration Attorney, and Computech Corporation as In-House Counsel.
Cooley earned her JD from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law and a BA, Magna Cum Laude with Honors in Public Affairs and French from Columbia College in South Carolina.
She enjoys traveling; going to art fairs and festivals; relaxing at the lake or ocean; and spending time with her four children, Brenden, Ryan, Bridget, and Sabrina, as well as her furry animals, Foxy and Forest.
