Thybo elected vice president of Wyoming State Bar

The Wyoming State Bar is pleased to announce that Teresa S. Thybo, an attorney from Green River, Wyoming, has been elected Vice President.

The 2021/2022 Election of Officers was held according to Article II, Section 1 and Article VI of the Bylaws of the Wyoming State Bar. The results of the election were announced today during the Bar’s Virtual Annual Business Meeting.

Thybo succeeds R. Scott Kath of Powell, Wyoming.

Thybo grew up on a ranch in western South Dakota. She began her education at Casper College in the paralegal program.

While attending school in Casper, she worked for Mike Zwickl and Danette Baldacci at Beech Street Law Office. She transferred to the University of Wyoming, where she obtained her Bachelor of Science in Communications. She then worked for attorneys Mike Schilling and Greg Winn in Laramie.

After graduation, she worked for Corthell and King, PC, in Laramie. She left to pursue a job at the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association in order to utilize her communications degree. However, she missed Wyoming and decided to return.

Thybo wrote for the newspaper in Sundance, Wyoming, before returning to Corthell and King to resume her duties as legal assistant there and the field of law. Having been out of school for four years, she was ready for a challenge and was accepted at the University of Wyoming College of Law.

During her third year of law school, she interned with the Laramie County District Attorney’s Office. When she passed the bar, she sought a position at the Sweetwater County Attorney’s Office, where she has been for nearly eleven years and has served as the Chief Deputy since 2015.

In her capacity as Vice President, Thybo will serve as a member-at-large of the Board of Commissioners and a member of the Executive Committee.
