Sarah Skow Selected for Statewide Community Service Award

The Ohio State Bar Foundation selected Sarah Skow as the 2015 recipient of the Statewide Community Service Award for Attorneys 40 & Under. As the daughter of a judge, Sarah understands that the bedrock of democracy is the rule of law. As a lawyer at Spengler Nathanson, she knows to litigate complex business transactions with integrity. As a volunteer in the community, she realizes great personal wealth supporting a variety of local organizations through pro bono work for victims of domestic violence, putting up siding for a Habitat for Humanity Home, and volunteering for Mobile Meals of Toledo.

Sarah aptly describes her experiences as follows: “When I wield a hammer at a Habitat home or staff a table at a fundraising event, I am living Margaret Mead’s words: ‘Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that has.’”

As a board member for the Arts Commission of Greater Toledo, The Children’s Theater Workshop, the Toledo Botanical Gardens Arts and Culture Committee, and a Circle 2445 member at the Toledo Museum of Art, Sarah connects with dedicated people in the arts to make a difference in her community. Sarah’s involvement as President of the Toledo Women’s Bar Association and as a member of the Ohio State Bar Association’s Young Lawyer Advisory Board displays a deeply held conviction of living a passionate life in service of others.

Congratulations Sarah!
