Dale Miller has served for over 25 years with the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). FAS is the international arm of the USDA and represents overseas the diverse interests of U.S. farmers and the agricultural sector.  FAS works to improve market access for U.S. agricultural products, build new markets, and improve the competitive position of U.S. agriculture in the global marketplace.

Following the reorganization of the FAS in November of 2006, Dale was named Senior Advisor in the Office of Trade Programs (OTP). In this capacity, Dale strived to increase public awareness of the importance of agricultural trade and free trade agreements; forge strategic outreach partnerships; create a more effective network of state, legislative, industry and government partners as well as promote the export assistance role of the USDA. In November of 2008, Dale was named Director of OTP’s newly created Trade Services Staff which oversees agency export services, trade expositions, and acts as the liaison with related academic, business and legislative organizations in promoting international trade.

From 1997 to 2006 Dale worked in FAS’s Office of Outreach & Exporter Assistance serving as the Director from 2001-2006. During that time partnerships were forged with key business associations and government agencies, including the National Conference of State Legislatures, Council of State Governments, World Trade Center Association, NASBITE, Business Council for International Understanding, U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the District Export Council.

From 1980 to 1996 Dale held a range of positions in FAS and has represented USDA in matters pertaining to foreign market development in over 35 countries.

Dale received a M.S. degree in Agricultural Economics from Iowa State University.
