LaSonja Dunbar

LaSonja serves as the 2023 Vice President and Education Chair on the Youngsville Chamber Board of Directors and is a recent Graduate of Leadership Youngsville Class I.  She also served as Education Chair in 2020, 2021 and 2022.  She is the owner of LaSonja Dunbar Agency, Horace Mann Teachers Insurance Company.  The goal of their organization is to serve the community of educators by providing them with the best insurance options and helping them with their financial needs. LaSonja Dunbar Agency offers auto, home, and life insurance, as well as a full range of financial products. Her heart is in serving educators and providing them with outstanding service.  This is why she is a tremendous asset to the Education Committee.

LaSonja has over 15 years of experience in various fields of business.  She began her studies of Business Administration at Southern University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. After completing her education, she proceeded to work in the real estate industry because she was dreaming about it over a decade. She specialized in selling insurance and real estate, and it was challenging as much as fulfilling.  Her top priority was to recognize and satisfy the needs of her customers, while trying to build trustful and long-lasting professional relationships.

Despite all of her professional achievements, what she is most proud of is her family. She is a mother of three, and seeing her children grow into happy, smart, and dedicated people is her greatest joy. Poco Dunbar Jr., her oldest, studies at Southern University, just like she did many years ago. McKayle Dunbar attends Southside High School, and Palyn Dunbar attends Ascension Episcopal School. Her family means the world to her, and she would do anything to make them happy and keep them safe from troubles. 

When she is not working or serving my community, she enjoys attending football games, cheer competitions, or just relaxing with friends and family. She strongly believes that being surrounded by loving and caring people is the best thing in life. Apart from that, she is a keen traveler who likes exploring the world and getting to know new people and cultures.
