Theresa Lehman
Sustainable practices in the construction industry are becoming increasingly important, and that’s where Theresa Lehman comes in. Her career has been dedicated to sustainability, and her current role as the director of sustainable services for Miron Construction is to educate and bring sustainability to the company’s construction projects. Lehman works on projects to bring them up to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification standards.
Outside of her employment, Lehman is an advocate for sustainability measures and standards in construction. In 2012, she was honored as the world’s youngest LEED Fellow—a prestigious professional designation.
