                      Wednesday, December 7, 2022

  Mr. DeSAULNIER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life of 
Dale Harrington.
  Throughout his life, Dale has demonstrated his passion for advocacy 
and has worked tirelessly to promote equity within our community. He 
earned his master's degree from California State University at 
Sacramento, California and in 1963, he became Assistant Chief Probation 
Officer in Yolo and Santa Barbara Counties where he served for 15 
years. In 1975, he was appointed chair of the Santa Barbara County 
Juvenile Justice Master Plan Task Force. Throughout his life, Dale was 
a strong advocate for criminal justice reform, firmly believing that no 
one is beyond redemption.
  After his time as a probation officer, Dale was appointed as 
executive director of two corporations responsible for providing 
housing for elderly and disabled persons in the East Bay. Dale went on 
to share his expertise with future generations, joining the University 
of Phoenix as a Professor of Management, Sociology, and Critical 
Thinking. As a faculty member, he published an article through the 
University of Kiev in Ukraine entitled: ``Professor and Student 
Responsibilities--How are they different?''.
  As a strong proponent for affordable housing within the East Bay, 
Dale was involved with many community organizations, serving on the 
Board for the Golden Rain Foundation, City of Benicia Housing 
Authority, and the California Association of Homes and Services for the 
Aging. Additionally, he was a founder and Board Member for the 
Affordable Housing Affiliation.
  Please join me in honoring Dale Harrington, who sadly passed away at 
the age of 84 on October 9, 2022. He will be remembered for his 
outstanding character and his commitment to his community.
