Corney and Henderson Receive Ohio State Bar Foundation Community Service Awards

Congratulations to Attorneys Sarah J. Corney and Kayla L. Henderson who are both receiving the Ohio State Bar Foundation's 2024 Community Service Award for Newer Attorneys for their volunteer work in Findlay and Toledo, respectively.

This award is presented to attorneys, under age 40 or for less than 15 years of practice, who contribute substantial time and effort in service to a local social service, or a local civic, artistic or cultural organization. Their current community service is outside the practice of law and given without compensation. Recipients represent the ideals of the legal profession and, by example, are a credit to the profession.
