Biography

Terry Lewis is the Manager of Community Engagement for Atlantic Canada with Diabetes Canada. Terry joined Diabetes Canada in January 2009 as the fundraising coordinator for PEI and was promoted to his current position in the fall of 2012.

He was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the fall of 2001 at the age of 29 and after 18 successful years in sales, he decided to join Diabetes Canada to help make a difference in the lives of others living with the same condition as he was. He also has two older sisters and a nephew who live with type 1 diabetes.

Terry currently manages the fundraising team in Atlantic along with overseeing the day to day operations of the PEI office. He has also been very actively involved in most aspects of the organization, including volunteer management, fundraising, government relations and advocacy issues, communications and public relations.
