State Board of Examiners of Plumbing, Heating & Fire Sprinkler Contractors
Raleigh, North Carolina
Dale Dawson is well known among the construction trades throughout North Carolina and beyond. After graduating high school, he began a career in the plumbing trade and obtained his Class I Plumbing Contractor license in 1983. In 1992 he joined the licensing board staff as an administrative officer with the primary responsibility of complaint investigations, eventually becoming Senior Administrative Officer and Assistant Executive Director. In October 2007, he was named as Executive Director of the State Board of Examiners of Plumbing, Heating and Fire Sprinkler Contractors.
He is responsible for all aspects of the Board's operation and is charged with running the organization as effectively, efficiently, and economically as possible. His leadership philosophy is simple: recruit and retain quality employees, operate as a business instead of a bureaucratic government agency, and treat everyone with fairness, respect, and compassion.
He has worked diligently to establish good working relationships with numerous organizations and agencies associated with the construction trades at the local, state, and national level. He was appointed to the Board of Directors of the National Association of State Contractor Licensing Agencies in 2010, and currently serves as Second Vice President.
December 1, 2022 will mark his 30th year with the State Board of Examiners, and he looks forward to continuing his career for years to come.
