His most recent voyage as executive dean was the fall of 2002.

For many years, he served as chairman of the board of Lewan & Associates, Inc., one of the largest office-technology companies serving Colorado and Wyoming and now now wholly owned by Xerox Corporation.

Lloyd Lewan is active with many national and local organizations. He was appointed by Colorado's governor to four terms on the Women's Economic Development Council and has served on the Governor's International Trade Office. He has served with Special Olympics Colorado and Human Services, Inc and is involved at The Children's Hospital in Denver.

He chaired the board of directors for the Zach Foundation, a foundation dedicated to preventing burns and assisting children who have been burned, and is chairman emeritus for Open Door Youth Gang Alternatives, an inner city program focused on providing at-risk youth alternatives to gang recruitment and gang involvement.
