"As president and CEO, I look forward to working closely with our staff and our clients to continue to offer trusted, full-service engineering.

We remain focused on being 100-percent responsive to the needs and demands of our clients, and delivering high-quality engineering services."
During her nearly 20-year career at HLR, Lyon has served in a variety of roles, with increasing responsibilities, including survey department manager, treasurer, vice president and, most recently, executive vice president. Before joining HLR, Lyon worked for the Illinois Department of Transportation in the Bureau of Land Acquisition, where she became very familiar with the public agency land acquisition process.
