He has been a member of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians since 1971, when he joined the organization at the age of 19.

Lewis's many honors include a MacArthur Fellowship and a Guggenheim Fellowship, and his book A Power Stronger Than Itself: The AACM and American Experimental Music received the American Book Award.
