Young Professionals: Mental Health
The Conroe/Lake Conroe Chamber Young Professionals Network is designed to provide professional development, networking, mentoring, and volunteer opportunities to chamber members under 40.
With programs and events offered every month, you or your staff will grow professionally, make new connections, and give back to our community.
June's professional development luncheon focused on Mental Health will be presented by Judge Wayne L. Mack, Justice of the Peace Precinct 1 and on the Conroe/Lake Conroe Chamber Board of Directors.
Judge Wayne L. Mack, a 40 year resident of Montgomery County has had a distinguished career of public service, starting out as a custodian working the night shift for the Building Maintenance with Montgomery County cleaning the same court house that now calls him “Judge” in downtown Conroe. He has over 35 years of service with Montgomery County government. After graduating from Lone Star College Police Academy he became a Law Enforcement career and has almost 15 years in Law Enforcement working as Reserve Captain at the PCT. 1 Constables office and as a Reserve Sergeant at the Conroe Police Dept. and a M.A.P. Deputy with the Constable PCT. 2.
In 2014 Judge Mack was elected to serve as the Justice of the Peace for Justice Court One. He has Court offices in Willis & Montgomery Texas. When he came into office, he started the Justice Court Chaplaincy Program that includes over 50 members across Montgomery County representing all faiths that respond to assist Law Enforcement in times of crisis and tragedy to help families start the process of grieving and healing.
Serving his community to the fullest and always making himself available when needed is the key factor in why Judge Mack and his team are so strong. Judge Mack is a true example of Servant Leadership. He is making Montgomery County better for all residents by DOING and not just saying.
In addition to his role as Justice of the Peace, Judge Mack has served on 18 different non-profit Boards in Montgomery County. Judge Mack is a founder of the Behavioral Health and Suicide Prevention Task Force of Montgomery County (BHSP) where there are over 250 active volunteers. He teaches Talk Saves Lives classes for the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention and is a Trust-Based Relation Intervention Practitioner. With this TBRI training, Judge Mack’s court became the first trauma informed Justice Court in Texas.
Judge Mack was named Justice of the Peace of the Year 2020 by the Justice of the Peace and Constable Association of Texas (JPCA) and currently serves as Chair of the Legislative Committee for the JPCA.
Judge Mack is happily married to his beautiful wife Mindy, who works for the Conroe Police Dept. He has 3 grown children, Austin, Amber, and Michelle, and is raising his niece, Miranda. He has 7 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild.
Judge Mack and his family live their life by their family motto of “ Make A Difference Every Day”.
