Dawn Dick

Executive Director, Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center

Originally born in Cleveland, Ohio, and then raised in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Dawn Dick is a graduate of Colorado Technical University with a Software Engineering degree. 

Mrs. Dick has an extensive background in Fleet support beginning in 1988 as a financial, programming, and logistics specialist for a government contractor supporting Fleet Technical Support Center Atlantic (FTSCLANT), which would later become Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center (MARMC).

Over time, Mrs. Dick managed contract personnel for multiple companies in support of various MARMC efforts to include technical, assessment, repair and administrative on-site support, including contract solicitations, proposals and re-competes.

She joined the Federal Civilian Service at MARMC in 2012, where she supported Combat Systems technical efforts. She quickly advanced to overseeing engineering efforts as the Business Office Manager. Through continuous interface and communication with respect to funding, manning, budget, and workload requirements with senior and executive leadership, various Program Offices, customers, and communities, she was promoted to the Engineering Department Deputy where she served three terms.

In 2019, Mrs. Dick was assigned to MARMC's Corporate Operations Department as the Deputy where she was the principal advisor to the department head on all aspects of command business. In 2020, she became the Corporate Operations Department Head overseeing its 500+ members and all of the command's Consolidated Support Services. 

Mrs. Dick was a driving force for MARMC through the COVID-19 pandemic ensuring clear guidance on employee’s physical presence, travel, testing, vaccination, and waivers policy.  She also orchestrated the efforts to divest all Human Resources functions to the Fleet Human Resource Office to comply with Secretary of the Navy Instruction.

She has attended NAVSEA Senior Leader Workshops focused on the Chief of Naval Operation’s “Get Real, Get Better” initiative, which she continues to implement through the MARMC’s Strategic Business Plan and Culture Community of Practice.

In 2024, Mrs. Dick completed a semester at the Federal Executive Institute in Charlottesville, Virginia, where she continued to sharpen her leadership and management skills at an enterprise level. She has made it a professional goal to make MARMC's people her central focus and to promote self-awareness, assessment, and improvement, which will lead to a more productive, stronger, and happier workforce.

Mrs. Dick assumed the role of MARMC Executive Director on September 1, 2024.
