Cheryl Burns
President & Chief Executive Officer
Appointed as President and Chief Executive Officer in 1999, Cheryl actively pursues advancement of the surety bail industry while promoting strategic corporate growth. Seventeen years earlier, she and our founder, Harvey Childs, formed Bail USA Inc. where she managed the daily operations of our headquarters while functioning as Corporate Secretary and Treasurer.
The compassion she feels for bail agents is because of the fact that she herself is a licensed bail agent. Cheryl first received her license in 1987. She understands what a bail agent’s job is all about.
Cheryl and Tim Burns reside in Ohio and are the proud parents of three adult children and three grandchildren. Cheryl is an active member of her community and church.
Cheryl has maintained positions on the Boards of Directors of Thiel College, First National Bank of Pennsylvania, and our local newspaper, The Record Argus. She is a member of the Professional Bail Agents of the United States (PBUS), and has been a licensed bail agent since 1980. She holds nonvoting memberships in various state associations across the United States. She strongly suggests that as a bail agent you get involved in maintaining the respectability and accountability of our profession.
Cheryl is a not only a pioneer in the industry but a true success story for her accomplishments in a previously male-dominated profession. She is nationally recognized for continually setting standards of excellence for the surety bail industry.
