�Ӱ���Ƶ

Last week, �Ӱ���Ƶ announced the election of two new members to its Board of Trustees, one a renowned arts curator and philanthropist, and the other a prominent antitrust litigator. Toby Devan Lewis, a 1956 graduate of the Flora Stone Mather College for Women, and Milton A. Marquis, a 1984 graduate of the School of Law, join a board whose membership totals just more than 40 trustees. “Both of these individuals are exceptionally distinguished in their fields, and their achievements stem directly from their respective passions for their work,” Board Chairman Chuck Fowler said. “They have long ties to �Ӱ���Ƶ, and we look forward to their contributions to the board’s leadership.” Lewis, who curated the art collection for Progressive Corp. for more than two decades, is known for her keen eye in identifying and nurturing emerging talent. When Lewis left Progressive in the mid-2000s, she had amassed more than 6,000 provocative and compelling works, a portfolio considered by many—including Art + Auction magazine—to be among the nation’s best. Lewis has twice received the Award of Excellence from the International Association of Professional Art Advisors, been honored by the New Museum, New York, and ArtTable, as well as the Cleveland Arts Prize program and the Cleveland Institute of Art, which awarded her an honorary degree. Lewis has generously given to the New Museum, MOCA Cleveland and ideastream, among other nonprofit organizations. She also contributed to the 34,000-square-foot space that became Toby’s Plaza at �Ӱ���Ƶ, an area designed by renowned landscape architects James Corner Field Operations on the south side of Euclid Avenue in Uptown. Marquis is an attorney with Cozen O’Connor, an international firm with more than 600 attorneys in 23 cities across North America and the United Kingdom. He specializes in antitrust and consumer protection litigation and has long engaged in practice with the State Attorneys General. He has represented Fortune 100 clients in state and federal investigations ranging from health care to manufacturing. Before entering private practice, Marquis spent six years as a senior counsel with the U.S. Department of Justice, where he served as the Antitrust Division’s first liaison to state attorneys general. He also spent eight years as an assistant attorney general in Massachusetts and Virginia. In 2003, Black Enterprise honored Marquis as one of “America’s Top Black lawyers,” and in 2007 he was named one of Washington, D.C.’s Super Lawyers by the international rating service known as Super Lawyers. He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia in 1979, majoring in political science.
