Dottie Ramsey, president/COO of Modern Supply, is the first woman to serve as president of the American Supply Association.
She doesn't like to stress the woman angle and avoids the term, feminist. Even when she was interviewed by former SUPPLY HOUSE TIMES Editor John O'Reilly for a March 1992 cover story as incoming president of SWA, Ramsey focused on her experience and skills, not gender. The story credited her personal charm and practical intelligence for her success in the industry. O'Reilly's words about Ramsey in the 1992 article, “she may well be the most prominent and influential female manager in PHCP distribution today,” still ring true.
