He is also a member of the college council at SUNY Polytechnic Institute.

Dempsey retired from Booz Allen Hamilton. Prior to her retirement, Dempsey served as executive vice president in the firm’s Defense Intelligence Group and Functional Service Organization. During her career in the federal government, Dempsey was appointed to serve as deputy director of Central Intelligence for Community Management and as executive director of the president’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. Dempsey also has 17 years of experience as a senior civilian in the Department of Defense, working as deputy assistant secretary of defense for Intelligence and Security and as the designated (acting) assistant secretary of Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence. In 2004, Dempsey received the Intelligence Security Affairs Support Association William O. Baker Award. Dempsey has been granted an honorary doctorate from the National Intelligence University, holds a master’s degree from the University of Arkansas, and is a graduate of Southern Arkansas University.
