Through her work in her family business and through the Rotary Club, Lauren Poynter stays committed to service and community betterment.

Poynter is the president of the Rotary Club and is a third generation family business owner. Her family started Fieldstone Center.

Representing the third generation to work at Fieldstone Center, Poynter has seen the company continue to grow as Covington has also expanded.

“Our business has grown tremendously in this community beyond what my grandfather imagined,” Poynter said. “With all of the new companies moving to the area, our state and community, in particular, will continue to be a sought-after location for families looking for a place to call home.”

Fieldstone Center was founded in 1971. Located at old Atl. hwy, they work to service architects, contractors, landscapers, masons and homeowners. According to Poynter, they always live up to the motto of “everything in building with stone.”

The company helps contractors all over the country, but one of the biggest joys for Poynter is being able to work with those who live in Covington.

Poynter had seen business growth in Covington over the years, but feels the future is bright for businesses such as her own.

“The mass migration to the Atlanta area — specifically the eastside of Atlanta — in the last decade has benefited our business and hundreds of small businesses around us,” Poynter said. “Although our community is changing rapidly, we will continue to embrace responsible and sustainable growth and all the benefits it can bring to the community when planned and executed correctly.”

Along with her work in her family business, Poynter is the president of the Rotary Club for the City of Covington — a spot she assumed on June 27, 2023. 

“Becoming the president of the Rotary Club has been a dynamic and exciting transition. It’s an honor to lead such a dedicated group of individuals committed to service and community betterment,” Poynter said.

Poynter works with fellow Rotary Club members to create lasting change within the city of Covington through a wide variety of events, meetings and fundraisers.

“The future of our Rotary Club is bright,” Poynter said. “Filled with a deep commitment to service, innovation, collaboration, and a passion for making our community and the world a better place.”

When she is not spending time in the Rotary Club and at the Fieldstone Center, Poynter delights in her time with family and in sports.

“I enjoy spending time with my daughter and traveling with my family,” Poynter said. “I make a considerable effort to workout five days a week and I recently started learning to play golf, one of the most challenging sports I’ve ever attempted to learn; however, I enjoy playing.”
