dc.description Before retiring in 2013, as Senior Vice President, Randy Lewis led Walgreens’ logistics division for sixteen years as the chain grew from 1,500 to 8,000 stores with the most advanced logistics network in its industry. Believing that people with disabilities could do more, he also pioneered a disability employment model in its distribution centers that resulted in ten percent of its workforce consisting of people with disabilities (1,000+ PWDs). This initiative is being rolled out nationwide in Walgreen stores across America, changing the lives of thousands and serving as a model for other employers in the U.S. and abroad including large employers such as P&G, Lowe’s, Meijer and Marks & Spencer (UK). Randy has shared the story across the U.S., Canada and abroad on how steward leadership can both improve performance and benefit the community. His book, "No Greatness Without Goodness", recounts the story of what led him to create the Walgreens Model that has been referred to as the “gold standard of disability hiring” and how he was able to garner the support to make it successful. Over the past year, he has been developing the NOGWOG Disability Initiative, as an effective, low-cost and sustainable disability hiring model for employers. It is a private/public partnership between employers, community providers and government to provide employers the qualified candidates they need and people with disabilities the opportunities they seek.
