Tami Dorsett

Tami Dorsett is an Accounts Receivables Specialist for a Neurology Practice in Atlanta.

She is a native of Georgia and relocated back in 2018 after living outside of the United States for more than 8 years. Tami is married and has a blended family of 7!

She has previously served and actively participated in the Timber Ridge Elementary PTO, and most recently on the 2025 Superintendent’s Parent Advisory Council and as the Chairman of the Timber Ridge School Council for the 2024-2025 school year.

Although she works full time, and with her husband owns a Real Estate franchise, you are most likely to find her volunteering with her HOA, participating in any program that involves her kids or TRAVELING.

Tami is well organized, dependable, and capable of working with others. She loves watching sports, volunteering and getting to know people. She is passionate about creating positive environments that prompt social and educational growth for all learner types and strongly believes that a passionate Educator can make a lasting impression. Her strengths include her ability to identify issues and provide solutions that consider both parents and teachers. She will be a strong UG cluster advocate, analyzing matters from a parent’s perspective.

Katy Bell is a small business owner, college grad, mom, & wife.  Katy grew up in a small town in Colorado and was taught the value of education, family, and community. Her father was a small business owner, and her mother went on to serve 4 terms in the Peace Corps after raising seven children and working at the local retirement home.  After working in corporate America for 20 years, she went to college and obtained her business degree.    She felt an immediate kinship with the town of McDonough and wanted to put down business roots right here.  She opened Macon Street Tacos in August, 2018 on the McDonough Square.  Along with growing her business, Katy has watched her son grow and thrive in the Henry County school system.  Belief in the power of community and family brought the restaurant through the tough times brought on by Covid.  As someone who is committed to McDonough, Katy understands what it takes to turn a town into a community and maintain a thriving and vibrant place where people want to shop, eat, work, and live.

Katy leads by example.  She participates in many charitable events in the community and fosters relationships with community leaders to help drive change and make our community safer, stronger, and a better place to live. She is active in the McDonough Main Street Merchant Association and serves on the McDonough Tourism Board.   Being a small business owner is very demanding, but her commitment to her family and supporting her son’s school and extracurricular activities are her main priority.  During her son’s tenure at East Lake Elementary, Katy was seen at all events cheering on the kids!  She tirelessly volunteered, participated in all school fundraisers, and served as a school chaperone when needed at off-site events.  One of her ELE highlights was when she coordinated a group of 5th graders to serve lunch during Teacher Appreciation Week.  Never underestimate the power of community and what can be accomplished when we work together.  


 

Katy Bell would be an excellent asset to the UGMS Advisory Council.
