Outside of the legal profession Ms. Newlove donates her time to the Wood County Board of Developmental Disabilities.  She also volunteers for the Bowling Green Black Swamp Art Festival as well as the “Out of the Darkness Walk” for suicidal prevention awareness.  It is for these services to the community that   Ms. Newlove received the Award for Community Service by Attorneys 40 and Under.

This award is presented to honorees in Ohio State Bar Association Districts across Ohio.  It recognizes attorneys aged 40 or younger who contribute substantial time and effort to a local social service, or a local civic, artistic or cultural organization.  The service must be outside the recipient’s practice of law and must be given without compensation.  Recipients should represent the ideals of the legal profession, be a credit to the profession and enjoy a fine professional reputation.
