Dozier, who has served as vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and on various GAVREO committees and has two decades of experience, holds a bachelor of political science from North Carolina Central University. In 2016, she earned Certified Election/Registration Administrator (CERA) certification from the Election Center/Auburn University, where she serves on the board of directors.
Prior to becoming Clayton County Elections Director, Dozier served as registration chief in Fulton County, assistant supervisor of elections in Rockdale County, and voter education coordinator for the Georgia Secretary of State Elections Division.
