About MaryEllen K. Bishop

MaryEllen Bishop is an IU alumna and member of the IU Board of Trustees. Bishop earned a B.S. in marketing from IUB, and a J.D. from the McKinney School of Law at IUPUI. Bishop has been elected continuously by the alumni to serve on the IU Board of Trustees since 2010.

As an undergraduate, Bishop was a member of the Alpha Chi Omega Sorority. After completion of her degrees, Bishop joined Coopers & Lybrand as a tax associate (1983-1987) before becoming partner with her husband at Bishop & Bishop (1987-2007). In 2007, she became partner at Bose McKinney & Evans LLP. Bishop then joined the law firm Cohen Garelick & Glazier as a partner, serving as a board-certified trust and estate lawyer. She is admitted to practice law before the Indiana Supreme Court, both United States District Courts of Indiana, the United States Tax Court, and the United States Supreme Court.

Additionally, she was co-chair of the Planned Giving Committee of the IU School of Medicine, member of the Indiana University Colloquium Planning Committee, member of the IU Women's Philanthropy Council, and chairperson of the IU Bicentennial Medal Committee.

Bishop has served two terms on the Indiana Probate Code Study Commission and is a fellow of the American College of Trust and Estate Council, a fellow of the Indiana State Bar Foundation, and a distinguished fellow of the Indianapolis Bar Foundation.
