President Kennedy appointed William B. Dale (1924-2011) to a two-year-long term as U.S. Executive Director of the International Monetary Fund. The IMF was founded in 1945 to promote economic growth, stability, and trade; it still actively participates in global financial affairs. Dale had joined the Treasury Department in 1948, worked in the Middle East, collaborated at the Stanford Research Institute, and served on a presidential task force prior to his nomination to head the American division of the IMF. Dale became deputy managing director of the IMF in 1974 before retiring in 1984.
