Dear Friends,

I am honored to represent you on the Montgomery Village Foundation's Board of Directors. The Board of Directors are elected to three year terms and oversee a budget of over $10 million. As a Board Member, my Committee assignments have included the Recreation Committee, Election Committee (served as Chair in 2012), and the Communications Committee. My focus continues to be on improving the future of the Village, through improvements to the existing ammenties as well as increasing them (including a continued focus on the creation of an actual Village Center), improved marketing of the Village, increasing public safety, and representing your interests in the discussions and decisions made by the Board.

I am a lifelong resident of Montgomery County and the State of Maryland; I grew up in Bethesda and moved to Montgomery Village, where I currently live with my wife, Joyce Kraus Dyer, a lifelong resident of Montgomery County and the State of Maryland as well.  Between both of our families, we have called Montgomery Village home for two generations, and have called Montgomery County and the State of Maryland home for over three generations. In December 2010, Joy and I welcomed a fourth generation, with the birth of our son, Joseph. As a homeowner starting a family here, this is where our family will continue to live for generations to come.

I also currently serve as a member of the East Village Homes Corporation (EVHC)'s Board of Directors, in Montgomery Village. The Board of Directors are elected to three year terms and oversee a budget of over $1 million. As an EVHC Board member, my Committee assignments have included the Recreation Committee, Parking and Public Safety Committee, Nominating Committee, and the Election Committe. During my time on the EVHC Board, In 2011, I was involved in the successful formation of East Village's Neighborhood Watch program, in partnership with the Montgomery County Police Department - 6th District.

I am trained and certified in Mediation, ADA compliance, Limited English Proficiency (LEP) compliance, Environmental Justice, Environmental Compliance, and have also had experience in working with and negotiating legal settlements with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); notably, I was part of the successful negotiation between the State of Maryland and the EPA which saved the State millions in fines for violations that spanned almost a decade and were successfully mitigated during my time at the State.

My wife and I are fortunate enough to come from families with noted service to the community, proud military service, family values, ethics, and exceptional character. I'm the youngest son of two very well-respected members of our community, Ret. Brig. Gen. Robert Francis Dyer, Jr., MD, a retired physician and veteran of the United States Army, and his wife Doris Swain Dyer, RN, a retired Nurse, who currently reside in Bethesda. They have raised four children, including myself, who also continue to live locally in the County.  My wife, Joy Kraus Dyer, is the daughter and only child of two very well-respected members of our community, Mr. John Edward Kraus, a licensed Architect, a Senior Vice President at the JBG Companies, and a veteran of the United States Army, as well as a member of Montgomery Village's Commercial Architectural Review Committee and Montgomery Village's 2030 Committee (also a former member of the Montgomery Village Long Range Facilities Planning Committee), and his wife Judith Allen Kraus, who currently reside in Montgomery Village (Northgate Homes Corporation).
