Henrietta Dozier was the third woman to join the AIA. She served as the secretary of the Atlanta Chapter 1910-1912, and as the first secretary-treasurer for the newly created Florida Chapter starting in 1921. There is likely routine correspondence from her in the AIA's files of correspondence from the chapters to the national office, which has not been scanned for this record.
