Marie Dale, DEIB Co-Chair
Marie is a Local Sales Manager for Spectrum Reach. Hailing from Buffalo, NY, she’s a diehard member of the Bills Mafia, not to mention a skilled baker with a custom cake business. Sports and sweets aside, she’s thrilled to see the industry’s focus shift from ratings to impressions, with an increase in audience-targeted, data-based campaigns.

Al Reid, Education Chair
As Managing Director for Saatchi & Saatchi Dallas, Al’s journey has taken him all over the map. Born in Canada, raised in California, and working in LA, Hong Kong, New York and San Francisco, he’s gained a global perspective. Through it all, he’s held true to the message espoused by Nike back in his youth: “Find your greatness.”
