Our Honoree

Rose H. Harvey

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo nominated Rose Harvey to serve as Commissioner of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation in January 2011. Previously, Commissioner Harvey held multiple leadership positions with The Trust for Public Land, from community organizer, to Regional Director of the Mid-Atlantic Region, to National Director of Urban Programs. Under her leadership, TPL’s Mid- Atlantic Region, with community partners, established over $1 billion of new rural, regional and urban parks—300 of which are urban gardens and playgrounds in underserved neighborhoods. Upon leaving TPL, Commissioner Harvey served as a senior fellow at the Jonathan Rose Companies, and a McCluskey Fellow and Lecturer at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. Outside of New York, she still serves on the Board of the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation and the Yale Leadership Advisory Council.
