Outside of the legal profession Ms. Kimes-Brown volunteers for groups such as the Friends of Lake Hope, the Vinton County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, the Herbert Wescott Memorial Library and the McArthur United Methodist Church. It is for these services to the community that Ms. Kimes-Brown 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.
