Hello, my name is Earnest Covington, III. I am the division director for the Office of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. I am a Black man. I am bald and have black facial hair. I am wearing a navy blue suit jacket over a light-colored button up collared shirt. Thank you.

Our office announces the retirement of program manager Claudia Foy after nearly two decades of dedicated public service to our communities in Washington state.

Claudia’s work included supervising and managing contracts for a wide range of social and human services in partnership with regional service centers, nonprofit organizations, and independent contractors providing services. Claudia supported Client Advocate Services, Co Navigator (formerly SSP) services, Communication Facilitator services, the Senior Companions Program and Family Mentor Services.

Claudia has been a public servant and fierce ally and advocate for the Deaf and DeafBlind community throughout their career in Washington state and throughout the United States. 

Claudia, thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication to Washington state. We appreciate all your work and advocacy and wish you a very happy retirement!
