Amy Lewis - 2022 Woman of the Year

Amy Lewis runs a cloud-based bookkeeping practice, Lewis Bookkeeping Inc., serving Orillia and the surrounding area for approximately 4 years. Amy is involved in the bookkeeping community within Canada and a member of organizations sharing best practices and updates bookkeepers need to serve the public interest. She is constantly improving herself, her business as an employer, the way her business serves the community at large, frequently hiring co-op students and women re-entering the workforce. She often helps direct individuals in need to programs and organizations that can provide education, funding and other direct support if she is unable to help them personally or through her business.
 
Since moving to Orillia in her late teens, she has been involved with several organizations, serving on the board of directors of Simcoe Contemporary Dancers (SC Dancers), and has also volunteered with the Mariposa Art Theatre and Bravado Showchoir where she was the treasurer.  Amy currently volunteers with The Salvation Army, The Orillia Silver Band and The Muskoka Concert Band. Her love of art and music continue to motivate her to change the conversation with regards to professionals being involved in the art community.
 
Amy strives to be a person that she would have looked up to growing up. She feels that it is important all young women know they are supported and loved by other women in their communities. She has been very impactful in the lives of a few and has touched the lives of many, setting them up for future successes.
