Dale W. Moore, Vice President
For nearly 25 years, Dale W. Moore has worked on policy and communications strategies in a variety of government and private-sector positions. He held the appointment as USDA's chief of staff for eight years, serving four different Secretaries of Agriculture. Dale has also worked as the legislative affairs director for the National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) and served a dozen years on Capitol Hill, beginning his Washington political career as a legislative assistant to then Rep. Pat Roberts (R-KS) before moving to majority and minority staff jobs on the House Agriculture Committee.
Dale applies the expertise gleaned from his years of service in DC with his production agriculture background to develop practical, collaborative science-based solutions to issues at hand. He has worked on numerous farm bills, pesticide and food safety laws, animal health and welfare issues, and during his time at NCBA, helped lead a coalition dedicated to elimination of federal estate taxes.
In addition to addressing policy matters while at USDA, Dale also helped coordinate administrative, management, and budgetary duties, and served as a representative for the Department on a number of interagency policy development initiatives. He holds a bachelor's degree in animal science from Fort Hays State University in Hays, Kansas.
