MOCA appoints Irmas a life trustee

Audrey Irmas, a leading figure on the Museum of Contemporary Art’s board of trustees since 1992, has been named a life trustee. A frequent donor of artworks and contributor to exhibitions, Irmas was co-chair of the museum’s capital campaign in the mid-1990s.

MOCA will announce her appointment next week as part of an annual changing of the guard, including the election of three new trustees. Investment advisor Arthur Bilger, Hard Rock Cafe founder Peter Morton and World Oil Corp. executive Steven F. Roth will succeed former board members Dean Valentine, Susan Bay Nimoy and Willem Mesdag.
