Biography
Amy K. Noe was born in Fort Worth, Texas, in 1972. From there she moved to Stillwater, Oklahoma, in 1974, and then to College Station, Texas, in 1984. In 1987, Amy moved to Terre Haute, Indiana, where she graduated from Terre Haute North in 1990. Amy attended Earlham College in Richmond from 1990 to 1994, when she graduated with honors having double majored in English and French Literature. After graduation, Amy began work as a legal secretary for local attorney Jeffrey T. Arnold, and she began law school at Indiana University School of Law - Indianapolis, in 1996, commuting for night school until graduating cum laude in 2000. She successfully passed the bar later that year and has been representing families and businesses in Wayne and surrounding counties ever since. She practiced for four years with Jeffrey T. Arnold and then for another six with Allen Wellman McNew, LLP. Finally, starting May 1, 2010, she is pursuing her dream of running a solo law practice.
I consider myself a community advocate as well as a lawyer. I love the Richmond community and really want to see us thrive. Currently, I am President of the Board of the Richmond Symphony Orchestra as well as the Richmond Community Orchestra (where I also play the flute). I volunteer at Richmond Civic Theatre (look for me in the orchestra pit, on the nominating committee, or backstage). I am also on the board of our local United Way. An active alumna of Earlham College, I serve on both its Alumni Council (currently Vice Chair) and Community Partnership Council. Past board affiliations include Birth-to-Five (Treasurer), Richmond Gymnastics Training Center (President), and Richmond-Wayne County Chamber of Commerce.
Finally, the integrity of the legal community is very important to me. I take seriously my role in the community and the world as an attorney, and I therefore serve the profession to make it stronger. I volunteer with Mentor Match, an Indiana State Bar Association (ISBA) program designed to elevate the competence, professionalism, and success of Indiana lawyers through positive mentoring relationships. I have served as Treasurer, Counsel to the President, and area representative of the Board of Governors of the ISBA. I am Wayne County's delegate to the ISBA House of Delegates. As a member of the Indiana Supreme Court's Committee on Character and Fitness, I interview lawyers in their quest to become licensed Indiana attorneys. In the past, I have served as President of the District 9 Pro Bono Commission, and I chaired the Wayne County Family Bar rules committee and served as liason for all Wayne County rules committees to the Indiana Supreme Court.
