Larry Williams, has a progressive 30-year career as a Certified Community and Economic Development Professional. He received his B.S. Degree from Tougaloo College and a Master’s Degree in Urban Studies from Trinity University. Larry is also a graduate of the Economic Development Institute at Oklahoma University.
Larry has a sincere passion for non-profit organizational development and has served on numerous Boards of Directors including: Mid-Delta Workforce Alliance; Delta Health Center; National PTA; Houseaboutit, Inc.; HIPPY National Board; and State President of the MS PTA. In addition to previously mention non-profits he founded, Mr. Williams also refers to The Cherry Street Business Association, the New Braunfels Avenue Business Association, and Washington County Personnel Managers Association as his other creative non-profit concepts.
In 2008, he had the distinct pleasure of meeting Ami Chen Mills Naim and her father Sr. Roger Mills at a conference in San Francisco, sponsored by the W.K.Kellogg Foundation. Dr. Mills was giving a presentation regarding his Modello project in Miami Dade County, Florida, whereby he initiated something called Three Principles of Psychology(3PP) based techniques with residents of the infamous housing project. Being a certified community development and economic development practitioner back home in the Mississippi Delta area, he immediately became interested in learning more about this 3 Principles methodology.
Larry,(along with his wife Jannis) remains a true believer in the global potential of the Three Principles to guide the way to a higher level of consciousness for the world. He is steadfast in his belief that 3PP can and should be utilized as a viable community development model, particularly in underserved and marginalized communities.
He has been married to his wife Jannis for 29 years and they have 3 sons, Jarian, Larrence, and Jhacolby.
