Glenn Eric Singleton has devoted over thirty years to constructing racial equity worldwide and developing leaders to do the same. He is the author of Courageous Conversations About Race books (© 2006, © 2012, © 2016), creator of a protocol for sustained, deep interracial dialogue, and facilitator of Beyond Diversity™, the curriculum that has taught hundreds of thousands of people how to effectively talk about race and address racial disparities. As Founder and President of Pacific Educational Group, Inc. (PEG), Singleton has created an agency that has developed racially conscious leaders in a variety of sectors: education, government, business, law enforcement, and community organizing among them. The work has been transformative and far- reaching. In September 2015, The United States Embassy selected PEG to guide law enforcement leaders throughout Western Australia. In March 2016, Singleton launched the first Institute for Courageous Conversation – in Auckland, New Zealand. Singleton’s passion for equity flows to and through his civic life as well. He is the founder of the Foundation for a College Education of East Palo Alto, California, an agency responsible for the collegiate admission and graduation of hundreds of students. In 2017, he founded the Courageous Conversation Global Foundation and serves as chairperson of its board of directors. Accolades for his work include The 100 Black Men of the Bay Area Community Service Award in 2015 and The Eugene T. Carothers Human Relations Award in 2003.
