Member Spotlight: Patty Lewis

Patty Lewis has been in the marketing industry for more than 20 years. She has been a marketing consultant for Millennium Marketing Solutions for the past eight years and owned a business prior to that. In 2011, she merged with Millennium so that she could offer her clients a wider range of services. Before she owned her company, Lewis worked for a marketing company for 11 years that has since gone out of business.

Millennium Marketing Solutions is a woman-owned business of 30 years with 35 employees. They offer a complete line of marketing solutions including, but not limited to, promotional products, printing, corporate apparel, trade show booths, banners, digital marketing, SEO and websites.

Lewis' best career advice is her motto, which is to always work hard so that you can play harder and to do something you enjoy because life is too short not to be happy with your career.

Her favorite vacation spot is anywhere that has tropical blue water and white sandy beaches, and her favorite island is St. John's BVI.

Italian food is her favorite, and she says, "There is nothing better than a bowl of pasta with a nice glass or two of red wine." She traveled to Italy in 2008 and was amazed at all the Italian cafes on every corner and alleyways serving the best pasta, pizza and fabulous wines!

Her favorite music genre is country and '70s music. Some of her favorite artists are Tim McGraw, Thomas Rhett, Fleetwood Mac, Foreigner, Boston and her all-time favorite band is Chicago.

Lewis' favorite hobby/pastime is playing golf. When she is not in the office, she is on the road visiting clients, and odds are she is on the golf course.

Born in Washington, D.C., Lewis then moved to Annapolis, Maryland, where she attended South River High School and the University of Maryland. She lived in Annapolis until 2015 when she got married and moved to the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Lewis and her husband have a vacation home in Lewes, Delaware, that they use on the weekends.

She says that her biggest pet peeve is when she receives an email and it doesn’t have any contact information in the signature block.

Her dream job if money wasn’t an object would be to be a travel agent and travel the world, especially the world-renowned golf courses!
