New Board Members

Sandra Rogers

By way of an introduction, my name is Sandra Rogers, and I am an RN (Registered Nurse) and an attorney who is now, luckily, retired.  My nursing days were spent in the PICU (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit) at Phoenix Children’s Hospital, and I was a flight nurse with Samaritan Air Evac.

Most of my time as an attorney was representing hospitals and medical professionals.  I have two sons and four grandsons, so I am definitely a “boy mom.”  My favorite things about living in Dobson Ranch are the lakes, trees, and beautiful parks.  It is great to be in such a central location, close enough to the airport and downtown Phoenix events and even closer to good neighborhood restaurants and businesses.  My entire family lives in Mesa, so I enjoy abundant family time.

As a new Board member, I have learned how complex it is to manage and maintain Dobson Ranch and all it has to offer.  I hope to encourage open and honest communication with our residents. I also encourage my fellow board members to focus on moving forward and finding solutions to improving our community.  I believe that the Board must be fiscally responsible, with an emphasis on maintaining our lakes, parks, and facilities. It is important to listen to residents, consider their concerns, and find a way to honestly and clearly explain what can and cannot be done by the Board to address those concerns. I look forward to continuing to learn about Dobson Ranch, its history, and its current needs.  I also look forward to getting to know more of my Dobson Ranch neighbors and encourage everyone to get involved in whatever way they can.

Katelyn Noble

It is a privilege to introduce myself to you as one of the newest members of the Board of Directors. My name is Katelyn Noble, I am originally from the state of Washington but have lived in the Tempe/Mesa area since I was a child. I attended McClintock High School, Mesa Community College and also worked at a nearby life care community for many years.

Being so familiar with the area, my husband and I chose to make Dobson Ranch our home when the opportunity came to move. We moved here in 2019 and have since had two children. Taking walks by the lakes, playing at the different parks, and participating in community events are some of the things that made us fall in love with the ranch. We feel so fortunate to live in such an established community that prides itself on maintaining the grounds and making improvements while also being one of the more affordable HOAs.

For seventeen years, I worked in accounting, starting at an entrylevel position and working my way up to department supervisor. I have experience with account reconciliations, collections, budget management, team leadership, and vendor relations, but above all, customer relations and hospitality were valued the most. Learning to listen and receive feedback, exploring different ways to resolve conflict, and helping wherever possible were essential to success. I am hoping that this skill set will make a positive contribution to the Board.

I chose to apply for a position on the Board because I want to serve my community in the most impactful way possible and help represent the interests of our residents. In my experience, when you see a potential solution to a problem, wanting to act on it immediately is typical. Being directly involved in the decision-making process was how I felt real change could be made. This structure has a purpose, and seeing the positive direction the association is moving toward, and the teamwork that’s getting us there is uplifting.

There are many aspects to running such a large community, and I learn something new every day. I’m very excited to have joined this team and look forward to collaborating with my fellow community members.
