Ambassador Wally Brewster is currently the CEO of Insignias Global, a strategy firm representing top CEOs and political leaders around the globe. Most recently, he served as the United States Ambassador to the Dominican Republic. Sworn into office on November 26, 2013, during the administration of President Barack Obama, his appointment – which was unanimously confirmed by the Senate – made history when he became the first openly gay Ambassador to serve the United States in the Western Hemisphere alongside his husband, Author Bob J. Satawake. Brewster’s political, strategic, and policy expertise is credited for making landmark and unprecedented diplomatic and societal advancements – all despite the well-documented obstacles that consistently challenged his efforts.

Brewster was an event speaker at the Dialogue.
