Lawwell was one of six representatives chosen to represent the 42 member clubs at the SPFL annual general meeting at Hampden on Monday morning.
Hearts chairwoman Ann Budge leaves the board after two years, with Motherwell's Alan Burrows and John Nelms of Dundee elected to represent the top flight along with Lawwell.
