Carole Greisdorf’s name is synonymous with servant leadership, education, and community impact—making her a natural choice for Good Human of the Month.
A lifelong educator and communicator, Carole’s career has left an indelible mark on Plano. She served as Chief Communications Officer for Plano ISD for 12 years, where she was known not only for her professionalism but also for her deep commitment to students and families. Her passion for civic engagement extended beyond the classroom and into the heart of community leadership through her longtime involvement with Leadership Plano.
Carole served as Program Director for Leadership Plano across three separate terms—2005–2007, 2014–2018, and again from 2021 until her retirement in 2024. During her tenure, she helped shape the minds and missions of hundreds of emerging leaders, many of whom have gone on to serve in local government, nonprofits, and business leadership roles throughout the region.
Her retirement in 2024 marked not just the end of an era but the celebration of a legacy. In a powerful tribute to her service, Leadership Plano Class 40 dedicated their class project in her honor: the creation of a Plano ISD Head Start Family Resource Center. The center, now bearing Carole’s name, stands as a lasting symbol of her devotion to educational equity and community empowerment.
Carole Greisdorf’s leadership has uplifted generations. Through education, mentorship, and civic engagement, she continues to be a guiding light in Plano, proof that one person truly can shape the future of an entire community.
