She lives her life by Rotary’s Four-Way Test. Looking at her honors and awards, this becomes very clear: Health Advocate, Excellence in Leadership, Legislator of the Year, Being the Change, Advocate of Innocence, Defender of the Bill of Rights.
 
Recipient of the prestigious Fulfilling the Legacy of Gault Award from Nebraska State Bar Association & Creighton University School of Law, Patty is respected in the legal community. She was named 2018 Nebraska Legislator of the Year for her work in the legislature. When there is a job to get done, who are you going to call? Our newest Rotarian, Patty Pansing Brooks.
