The Del-Chen-O chapter of the Women’s Bar Association of New York State has named Claudette Newman as its 2024 “Member of Distinction.” The honor was conferred at a May 9 dinner held at the Old Mill Restaurant in Mount Upton.

Newman is a founding member of the association, of which she speaks highly, saying that its continuing legal education classes and lunches with judges are “a huge benefit and offer moral support.” According to a statement from Del-Chen-O, the chapter chose to recognize Newman based on her “unwavering commitment to serving others.”

Service to others has always been foremost in Newman’s mind, which is the reason she chose to study law.
