Romney Lewis

Romney Lewis, as the Director of Marketing, Culture & Brand Quality, is the steward of the BMEA experience for every stakeholder we serve: staff, board, families, fellows, educators, partners, funders, donors, and volunteers. He leads BMEA's brand, culture, and execution quality, ensuring every interaction reflects the mission and values on which BMEA was built.

Romney's career began as a Coordinator at Playworks in New York, where he developed a passion for mentorship, youth development, and program facilitation. He went on to serve as Senior Manager at Stoked Mentoring Inc. and Supervisor of Housing-Based Career and Education Initiatives at The Door, advancing workforce training, career mentorship, and alumni engagement programs.

At BMEA, Romney shapes how the organization tells its story, from what it feels like to work here and partner with us, to what it's like to be a family in one of our programs, to the impact of the generous support from our funders and donors.

Romney holds a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Advertising from Michigan State University and is certified in Design Thinking. He also completed the Boys of Color Protective Practices training with PACE in New York City, deepening his expertise in equitable mentorship and youth development.
