HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County District Court Judge Patty Macke Dick was recently awarded the Pillars of Community Award during the Kansas Bar Association's annual meeting.
This Pillars of Community Award is given to a Kansas lawyer, judge, and Kansas Bar Association member with a minimum of 10 years of active non-specialized, general legal practice in a predominately low-density population area of Kansas. Recipients have substantial practice in small or solo law firms or local government service.
“I am honored to be recognized by the Kansas Bar Association for my commitment to my community and the state of Kansas,” Macke Dick said. “I appreciate the efforts of all Kansas lawyers in making our state a great place to live and practice.”
Macke Dick was first elected district court judge in 1988 and has served as chief judge of the 27th Judicial District, composed of Reno County, since 2007.
Macke Dick is the past president of the Kansas District Judges Association. She currently serves on the Kansas Council of Chief Judges, Kansas Judicial Council, the District Court Management Personnel Advisory Committee, and the Juvenile Offender/Child in Need of Care Advisory Committee, as well as the planning team for the 2022 Kansas Mental Health Summit.
Macke Dick is also a past recipient of the Kansas Bar Association’s Outstanding Service Award.
