About President Dr. Lewis
It is an honor to serve the San Antonio Chapter (SAC) of Blacks in Government (BIG) as its President. In this capacity, the stakes are set to enhance and elevate SAC to a higher level in order to experience the BIG mission and be aligned to the BIG goals and objectives both regionally and nationally. With BIG’ s foundational strength, this Chapter will become a beacon of light for other chapters to follow. The leadership experiences brought to the table stemmed from over two decades of Active Duty service to the Nation. Service ranged from serving as an Army Medic to becoming a Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Surgeon General and Commanding General on Orizational Medical Preparedness. It is a calling to “serve” others and that calling is humbly accepted.
