Congratulations to Dorothy Ratliff, CMCA, AMS, for being named the 2020 Community Association Manager of the year for the Tennessee Chapter of the Community Associations Institute.
Dorothy has been involved in real estate for over 30 years, starting in Florida with her own company. She joined the Ghertner & Company team in 2014 as on onsite manager and in 2015, she started managing a portfolio of HOAs.
She believes strongly in the value of the education opportunities provided through Ghertner & Company, Community Associations Institute (CAI) and other professional resources. She has completed the M200 series and looks forward to the M300 series. Dorothy knows that homeowners and vendors will realize and value that she is an informed and educated professional.
Dorothy enjoys the challenge of taking a struggling association to a successful one, especially as it relates to the process of building, teaching, implementing and reviewing budget challenges…she loves to “crunch the numbers”. She likes to lead board members in gaining a sense of accomplishment regarding projects and budgets. She believes the keys to success to treat everyone fairly, honestly and directly coupled with disciplined work ethic of doing what needs to be done.
Dorothy feels fortunate to be a part of the Ghertner & Company team that values her experience and work but also encourages her to keep balance in her personal life and professional growth.
