PITTSBURGH—The August Wilson Center welcomed new board member Tracey McCants Lewis, whose legal expertise and deep ties to the region will bolster efforts to reinvent the cultural center and assure its vibrant and financially healthy future.
The 45-year-old Manchester resident is assistant clinical professor at Duquesne University School of Law. She joins Richard Taylor, CEO of ImbuTec, and Michael Polite, chairman and CEO of Ralph A. Falbo, Inc. who were both appointed in August 2015. Each is serving a three-year term.
“Tracey has outstanding credentials as a lawyer and deep connections to the regional community. What I appreciate most about her is her level-headedness,” said Maxwell King, president and CEO of The Pittsburgh Foundation.
King—along with Scott Izzo, director of the Richard King Mellon Foundation, and Heinz Endowments President Grant Oliphant—is a founding board member of the African American Cultural Center, the nonprofit organization that oversees the August Wilson Center. Additional board members are being sought to broaden the board’s expertise and oversight capabilities. Programming and daily operations of the center are operated by The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust.
