In this role, he ensures that the organization’s mission is supported by robust infrastructure, effective governance, and long-term sustainability. A lifelong resident of North Minneapolis, Dr. Galloway earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Minnesota, a Master of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary with a concentration in Marriage and Family Counseling, and a Doctor of Ministry from Morehouse School of Religion, specializing in Community Organizing.

Dr. Galloway’s scholarly work explores the influence of secular and spiritual symbols on the African American community.
