Dalyn serves as an Executive Board Director of the Dakota Dunes Community Development Corporation (DDCDC) and First Nations Infrastructure Institution Development Board (FNII). In addition, Dalyn is a Director on many boards for the WDFN, including the Dakota Dunes Resort & Hotel, and the Whitecap Development Corporation which oversees several other of the First Nation’s businesses.
Dalyn received his Business Administration Diploma in 2010, an Indigenous People Resource Management Program Certificate in 2012 at the University of Saskatchewan and is certified by the National Aboriginal Land Managers Association Certification Program.
