She has also served as Co-Chair of 2019 WBASNY Convention Committee and a Co-Chair of the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 WBASNY Membership Committee. Ms. Campbell has previously served in the positions of President, Vice President and Secretary for the Chenango County Bar Association. In February 2020, Ms. Campbell received the WBASNY Emerging Leader Award which is bestowed upon leaders who exemplify the commitment and leadership of WBASNY’s founding mothers and will carry WBASNY’s mission of promoting the status of women and children in the courts and in society into the future. Since 2015, Ms. Campbell has volunteered as a mediator for Catholic Charites Dispute Resolution Center. In addition, she serves on the City of Norwich Planning Board.
