Dale A. Brill, Ph.D. Dr. Brill serves as Director of the Governor’s Office of Tourism, Trade and Economic Development (OTTED). In this role, Dale advises the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Legislature as they formulate policies and strategies designed to promote economic diversification and improvements in Florida’s business climate and infrastructure. Florida’s economic development programs are implemented through public/private partnerships for which OTTED provides direct oversight, including Enterprise Florida, VISIT FLORIDA, Space Florida, Black Business Investment Board, the Florida Sports Foundation and the Office of Film and Entertainment. Dale’s resume demonstrates more than just Career Attention Deficit Disorder. He was selected to Fast Company magazine’s inaugural list of “Fast 50 Innovators” and was named as one of the 25 Most Extraordinary Minds by the Hospitality Sales and Marketing Association International. Dr. Brill admits to being overeducated and doesn’t mind being called an academic. After earning his doctorate at the University of Tennessee, Dale served on the full-time faculties of both Boston University and Florida State University. Dale is still an active baseball player, recently participating in the Roy Hobbs World Series. Dale bats right, throws right and scouting reports confirm he still has trouble handling sliders down and away.
