DOTTIE Wurgler: Hotelier My greatest fulfillment is seeing people I’ve worked with grow into leaders. Watching a server or intern rise to management means more to me than any award. I started as a server and became a multi-property general Manager with Marriott International. Equally fulfilling has been my personal development, together they make me feel my dreams have truly been realized.
