Laurie Monroe

Laurie Monroe
Executive Director & President (1994 - 2006)
A native of New York City, Laurie Monroe was born in 1951, the daughter of Mary and Robert Monroe. Throughout her childhood, Laurie witnessed her father’s consciousness-expanding experiences as a part of her everyday life. She was one of the early subjects of Mr. Monroe’s “sleep learning” research.
After attending the University of Virginia and the University of Richmond, Laurie began a 21-year career in real estate. Throughout these years, Laurie maintained close relations with her father and continued to be involved in his pioneering efforts into human consciousness.
In the fall of 1994, at the annual Board of Directors meeting, Laurie was elected President and Executive Director of The Monroe Institute. She relocated to Virginia in 1996 and did much to uphold and expand her father’s work until her death in December 2006.
