Carol Grever

Teacher, writer, entrepreneur, philanthropist, mother, master gardener, canoeist, friend—lover of life, earth, cats, and other people—these are some of the facets of Carol Grever. Her slogan for living comes from A Course In Miracles, "All your past except its beauty is gone, and nothing is left but a blessing." Carol was co-owner of an international staffing firm for 23 years following a teaching career in college-level English literature and writing. Born in Oklahoma, she is now a “near-native” of Colorado who loves the mountains and outdoor activities. She has chaired the boards of the Boulder Chamber of Commerce, Naropa University, the Private Industry Council, and the Economic Futures Panel, and is a past president of Boulder Rotary. She has sat on many non-profit boards and has received numerous community honors, including Colorado’s Business and Professional Women’s Woman of the Year, the Colorado Community Service Award, Entrepreneur of Distinction, the YWCA Hall of Fame for Corporate Leadership, and the Boulder Business Pacesetter and Business Hall of Fame Awards. My Husband Is Gay is her first non-fiction book. She lives and writes in Boulder, Colorado.
