Lee Rollins Announced as Next Mocksville Town Manager
Mr. Lee Rollins has been appointed as Mocksville Town Manager. Mr. Rollins will join the Town of Mocksville on March 17, 2025. Mr. Rollins has 13 years of experience as a former town manager of Bermuda Run and over 30 years of experience in public and private partnerships. Lee currently serves as Executive Director for Resource Institute, Inc. a locally based non-profit organization that works with local governments and other partners to enhance America’s natural resources by restoring streams, rivers, and wetlands.
Approximately, half of Mr. Rollins’ working life has been in the private sector, much of which focused on strategic planning, client development, and customer service. This combination has provided Mr. Rollins with a unique perspective to create public/private partnerships whenever possible. He remains committed to the premise that government works best when it collaborates with the private sector and community groups to solve problems and achieve community goals. Working within organizations to topple “silos” is one of his passions and strengths.
Mr. Rollins is a resident of the Town of Mocksville and has been for 22 of years. During his time in Mocksville, he has been active in his church and a number of civic organizations. Mr. Rollins is a former Mocksville Town Commissioner and currently serves on the Town Planning Board. He majored in Business Administration at High Point University and has extensive training through the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Government.
Mr. Rollins will join a staff of experienced professionals and oversee 33 full-time and 20 part-time municipal employees providing comprehensive services to the citizens of Mocksville, making it a highly desirable and strategically located community in the Piedmont Triad of North Carolina. He will follow former Town Manager, Ken Gamble, who retired in December.
“The Mocksville Town Commissioners have worked hard to find the best candidate to fill the role of Mocksville Town Manager. After a thorough search process, they have selected the former Town Manager of Bermuda Run. Mr. Rollins served as Assistant Manager for the Town of Mocksville under Terry Bralley. He has a proven track record in leadership and will be an asset to our town. Thanks to Lynn Trivette for stepping in as Interim Manager during the search process and thank you to the Piedmont Triad Regional Council for conducting the search process” said Mayor Will Marklin.
Lee Rollins said, “I look forward to serving my home town and working with incredibly talented people to implement the policies and objectives as set forth by the Mocksville Board of Commissioners. It is an honor”.
