University of Richmond names Kimberly Bowers Dale as major gifts officer for law school

April 7, 2009

Kimberly Bowers Dale, director of gubernatorial appointments for Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine, has been named major gifts officer for the University of Richmond School of Law. She will begin work April 27.

A Portsmouth native, Dale is a 2005 Richmond graduate with an undergraduate degree in political science and a minor in leadership studies. She is pursuing a master's degree in public administration at VCU.

Dale first worked for Kaine as a finance intern while he was lieutenant governor and she was a Richmond student. Upon graduating, she served as an undergraduate admission counselor at the university and then worked for Harris Miller in his unsuccessful campaign for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate.

Dale also served as deputy finance director for the O'Malley-Brown campaign in Maryland that resulted in the election of Martin O'Malley as governor and Anthony Brown as lieutenant governor.

Her community service includes serving on the CenterStage Associates board, the Venture Richmond marketing committee and the Cade Foundation board.

Dale said her law school job is "a perfect meshing of my interests and passions. I've had a passion for the university since my undergraduate days, and I am very interested in politics and fundraising."
