T. Lee Covington brings experience and dedication to his new position as Chief Operating Officer at Forsyth County’s Senior Services where he’s helping to roll out Senior Service’s new Aging with Purpose initiative.
With a degree in business administration and finance from Elon College, he eschewed banking to work for nonprofits, serving adults with developmental disabilities and earning a masters in public administration from UNCG along the way.
Music runs a close second to his professional life. He clocked twice as many credits in music than in his business major at Elon, singing in every ensemble and playing in the jazz and show bands as he had in high school. He says his three years as a drum major at Alamance High School taught him a lot about “learning and leadership” which he’s hoping to bring as a successful drum major for the elderly in Forsyth County.
