Dale currently serves Maybeck as the Board President Emeritus, where he provides advice and support to the board and the staff, as needed, in the form of special projects and technical assistance as well as sharing historical context regarding governance. He also serves as a co-chair of the School Director Search Committee.

During his four years as a student at Maybeck High School, Dale was an active member of the Maybeck Touring Club and served one year as an elected member of the Rules Committee. After graduating Maybeck in 1986, Dale spent a year bicycling in Europe and North Africa with another Maybeck alum and then attended UC Santa Cruz. From Santa Cruz, Dale moved east for five long winters in Chicago, where he received his Doctoral degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology from DePaul University. Dale and another DePaul graduate student (also, his future wife) co-founded a leadership development consulting firm in Chicago in 1994. Shortly thereafter, he moved his consulting firm, 3D Group, to Emeryville. Through his work Dale has helped dozens of nonprofit organizations and Fortune 500 companies to improve their leadership and organizational effectiveness. Dale has written many publications on talent assessment and leadership. He wrote a book titled Hire Better Teachers Now published by the Harvard Education Press in 2014 and co-edited The Handbook of Strategic 360 Feedback published by Oxford University Press in 2019. While not working, Dale enjoys catching fastpitch softballs from his daughter, painting (which he first learned at Maybeck from Sue Matthews), playing competitive backgammon, and A- level tournament racquetball.
