We Would like to Thank Mayor Harry LaRosiliere the first Black Mayor of Plano, Texas for Meeting With Jim Johnson
Harry LaRosiliere (La Ross eh lee air) was elected as the 38th Mayor of the City of Plano in May 2013. He has embraced the City of Plano’s commitment as the City of Excellence.
Since taking office, Mayor LaRosiliere has identified several initiatives: economic development, community revitalization, high quality city services and child wellness. He is not new to local government. Prior to being elected Mayor, he served six years as a popular member of the Plano City Council and has chaired numerous nonprofit boards and commissions. His commitment to servant leadership has remained strong since arriving in Plano 18 years ago. He currently serves as an advisory board member of CASA of Collin County and on the President’s Council at Texas Health Resources. Harry is also a member of the Plano Metro Rotary Club and the Plano Chamber of Commerce.
Harry LaRosiliere has had a long history of leadership in Plano. Not only has he served six years as a popular member of the Plano City Council, Harry has chaired numerous nonprofit boards and commissions. His steadily growing list of community service speaks for itself.
During his service on city council, Harry is very proud of his efforts to promote economic development. He was instrumental in the decision by city council in 2005 to establish a fund to be used to
attract and retain businesses in Plano. Since that time, the Economic Development Fund has helped bring almost 17,000 jobs to Plano and landed corporate citizens such as Capital One, Pizza Hut, and Encana Oil and Gas.
Born in Haiti, Harry’s family moved to New York when he was three years old. He and his sister were first generation graduates of their family.
After receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in geology from City College of New York, Harry followed his entrepreneurial spirit and successfully ran a photography studio for eight years. After moving to Plano in 1994, the boy who was good with numbers finally found his calling when he began his career as a financial advisor, a profession he has maintained to this day.
The LaRosiliere family resides in Plano. Harry followed Tracy to Dallas from New York driving the last 18 hours straight with the idea of returning to New York in 3 to 5 years. Now with his wife Tracy and their two daughters, ages 15 and 13 they know that Plano is their family home.
Within months of his arrival in Plano, Harry and Tracy began to get involved in their new community. Over the past 18 years, his commitment to servant leadership has remained strong. He currently serves as an advisory board member of CASA of Collin County and on the President’s Council at Texas Health Resources. Harry is also a member of the Plano Metro Rotary Club and the Plano Chamber of Commerce. He and his family worship at St. Luke's United Methodist Church.
