Basis for Inclusion: Debra L. Dial holds a documented governance role at Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation, which is a major defense and government technology contractor deriving approximately 97% of its revenue from U.S. federal government contracts — primarily with defense and intelligence agencies. Booz Allen Hamilton made documented political donations to Trump-aligned entities while holding billions in federal government contracts whose renewal and expansion are directly influenced by presidential administration priorities and budget decisions. This profile documents the factual governance relationship, not the subject’s personal political views.
Subject Classification: Private Citizen / Corporate Director. Board membership is a matter of public record (SEC filings, proxy statements). This profile documents only the governance role and its connection to documented corporate political activity.
What is NOT the basis for inclusion: Dial’s personal political opinions, party affiliation, public statements, or any protected speech are NOT the basis for inclusion.
