As a volunteer-led organization, we know that our volunteers are truly the heart of Downtown Lansing Inc. Volunteers bring vibrancy and a sense of community to our events and initiatives, infusing purpose throughout downtown Lansing. This month’s Volunteer of the Month is Chioma Lewis.
Ms. Lewis not only serves on Downtown Lansing Inc.’s Organization Committee, but also volunteers regularly for events such as Downtown Egg-Stravaganza, Trick-or-Treat on the Square, and Downtown Lansing Inc.’s Evening of Excellence. Additionally, Ms. Lewis regularly pens articles for Downtown Lansing Inc., a key role for the organization and an important resource for our community.
Downtown Lansing Inc. board member Alexander S. Rusek has described Ms. Lewis as “an exceptionally valuable asset to any organization fortunate enough to have her time. Serving on Downtown Lansing Inc.’s Organization Committee with Ms. Lewis has been a great experience as she always brings considerate and thoughtful views and ideas to our committee meetings.”
Ms. Lewis is an alumna of San Jose State University and Michigan State University. When not volunteering, Ms. Lewis serves as a marketing manager for the Capital Area Transportation Authority. She also enjoys bird watching and collecting miniature lighthouse replicas.
Join us in thanking and showing our appreciation to Ms. Chioma Lewis for being our June 2026 Volunteer of the Month!
