Lew is a behind the scenes individual but a strong supporter of ABC and our values. County Group Companies was a founding member of ABC Delaware in 1981. Lew always supportsABC’s efforts to protect free enterprise and open competition in Delaware, and promotes our association on a daily basis with County Group employees. For the past two years, Lew has been the chair of the ABC Safety/Health & Wellness Committee which is responsible for providing members training, information and notification of changing federal and state laws. He was instrumental in helping ABC institute a Health & Wellness campaign to increase awareness of the cost savings benefits of a program for members and their employees. Lew is also a member of the ABC Delaware Legislative & Legal Rights Committee. He has always been there to help ABC on legislative matters, growing membership or promoting the importance of engaging future leaders into our association to create the next generation of ABC supporters. Lew is a strong supporter and contributor of both our local Political Action Committee and national Political Action Committee, which helps elect pro-merit shop legislators. Lew is an individual that truly embodies the spirit of ABC and is well deserving of this award.

This year she was instrumental in the development of the ABC Delaware Health Fair which helped employees of members companies go through bio-metric screening. This screening encourages ABC member employees to stay healthy as a way of lowering health care costs.
