Community Association Manager
 
Adrianna Stickler
Palm Island Resort Community Association Manager
Florida License: coming soon
 
Adrianna Stickler began her journey with Palm Island Resort in January 2023, joining the team shortly after Hurricane Ian as a Front Desk Reservationist. At the time, she was pregnant with her second child—an experience that shaped her deep appreciation for teamwork, resilience, and adaptability during a pivotal moment for both her family and the resort.
 
Her dedication and strong customer service background quickly led her into the role of Front Desk Supervisor. Following maternity leave, Adrianna returned with plans to resume Guest Services leadership and briefly served as Guest Services Manager before being offered the position of Association Administrative Assistant in December 2024. In this role, she worked closely alongside the resort’s Community Association Manager, gaining hands-on experience in association operations and governance.
 
In May 2025, Adrianna stepped back into the Guest Services Manager role, continuing to strengthen owner and guest relations. Her steady growth, commitment, and operational knowledge ultimately led her to her current role as Community Association Manager in January 2026, and she is actively working toward obtaining her Association Management licensing.
 
Born in West Palm Beach, Florida, and raised locally in Englewood, Adrianna has spent nearly her entire life in the state, aside from a brief nine-month period in El Paso, Texas, when her husband was stationed there during his service in the U.S. Army. She is happily married and the proud mother of two young children—a daughter and a son.
 
With a professional background rooted in customer service, Adrianna’s career began as a teenage cashier at Winn-Dixie and expanded across multiple industries, including restaurant operations, retail, administrative services, and the veterinary field. A lifelong animal lover, she also previously worked with the Suncoast Humane Society, supporting animal welfare in her local community before Palm Island Resort. 
 
Outside of work, Adrianna enjoys reading, spending quality time with her family, and creating meaningful core memories with her children.

A Certified Community Association Manager (CAM) Robert is always available to assist and contribute to all of the associations needs when needed.

Additionally, while working with WCI Communities, one of the properties he managed was honored with the 2009 WCI Communities Amenities of the Year award, recognizing it as the best-managed club in the company.
