Katherine Logue Named Executive Director of the McLennan County Dispute Resolution Center

WACO, Texas - March 24, 2023 - PRLog -- Waco native Katherine Logue has been named the Executive Director of the McLennan County Dispute Resolution Center (DRC). Logue, who graduated from Waco's Richfield High School, earned a Bachelor of Arts in the Plan II Honors program at the University of Texas at Austin in 1984 and a Juris Doctor degree from Baylor Law School in 1987.

DRC Board Chair Anna Clark Martinez stated, "The DRC is thrilled to announce the hiring of our new Executive Director, Katherine Logue. She brings to the DRC a diverse skill set that makes her uniquely qualified.  We are confident that Katherine will positively impact and expand quality mediation services in McLennan County and throughout Texas."

Chartered in 1996 as a non-profit organization, the DRC provides the community with education, training, and affordable mediation services. This mission resonates deeply with Logue. "In many legal conflicts, emotions run high. People want to tell their story and be heard, and that can be difficult when legal representation may be prohibitively expensive. The DRC can help by providing the parties with the opportunity to resolve their disputes in a meaningful and professional manner without the adversarial context of a courtroom setting," she said.

For the past 12 years, Logue served as the Executive Director of the Rotary Club of Waco. Previously she was the Director of Career Services at Baylor Law School, Staff Attorney for Justice Bill Vance and Briefing Attorney for Justice Frank G. McDonald on the Tenth Court of Appeals, and in private law practice with the Waco firm of Sleeper, Johnston, Helm & Fontaine. Logue was also an adjunct lecturer in Appellate Procedure and Legal Writing at Baylor Law School and in Legal Research at MCC.

An active community volunteer and leader, she served as president of the board of Meals on Wheels Waco, co-chaired its inaugural Wild Game Dinner fundraiser, and continues as a weekly volunteer delivering meals. Logue served as board president of Waco Habitat for Humanity and chaired the first "Women Build" project in which a home was primarily constructed by women volunteers. She has also served on the boards of Family Counseling & Children's Services, the Cameron Park Zoological and Botanical Society, the Waco-McLennan County Public Health District, and the Waco-McLennan County Young Lawyers Association.

Logue is married to Jack A. Hill, professor emeritus of Religion & Social Ethics at TCU.
