Barbara Lewis

Barbara Lewis is the founder and president of Town Center City Club, the premier private business venue for business meetings, corporate events, fundraisers, weddings, retirements, and other special occasions.

She taught classes at a college-level finishing school for 15 years in the 1960s before she opened Charm Associates in 1976. She ran the school where local girls learned modeling and manners for 30 years.

Barbara established the Outstanding Professional Women’s Awards in 1982 to create role models and motivation for other women. She is the producer of the Dancing with the Hampton Roads Celebrity Stars fundraising event, which benefits local arts groups. She has also helped raise money for other local organizations, including the Lynnhaven River 2007 Project, Hope House, and the United Way.

In recognition of her efforts in the community, Barbara Lewis was honored by the Virginia Beach Jaycees in 2022 as the First Citizen of Virginia Beach.

In 2023, Barbara hosted the Inaugural Examples of Success Dinner to honor our region’s first female Eagle Scouts.
