As we continue spotlighting SDA’s 2025 National Executive Committee, meet Lynda Meyer, CDFO, SDA’s National Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer at Legacy Engineering in Fredericksburg, VA. With a deep understanding of business operations and long-term financial planning, Lynda brings clarity, precision, and purpose to her leadership. She’s focused on keeping SDA financially strong—while helping position the organization for smart, sustainable growth.

Over the next 1–5 years, my vision is to expand our membership across the U.S. and Canada and position the SDA as the leading source of best practice management education in the A/E/C industry. I want us to be the most sought-after organization to join, with a widely recognized and respected brand.

A key initiative to support this vision is empowering our business development teams and staff with a clear understanding of the value we offer—both to the industry and to individual firms. With that knowledge, they can effectively promote SDA at events, in conversations, and through our marketing materials.

As a member of the executive committee, I bring a broad range of strengths to help support our continued growth. I have a proven track record in leadership, with the ability to make tough decisions, inspire teams, and drive progress toward strategic goals. My approach encourages collaboration, innovation, and a positive, team-oriented culture.

I’m highly organized, capable of balancing competing priorities while maintaining precision and efficiency. I communicate effectively, both in writing and in speech, and I actively listen to ensure diverse perspectives are heard and valued.

With these strengths, I’m confident I can make a meaningful contribution to our executive committee’s initiatives, strategic planning, and long-term success.

Lynda’s strategic mindset and steady leadership help ensure that SDA isn’t just growing—we’re growing wisely. Her focus on stability, clarity, and long-term planning strengthens our ability to serve members well into the future. If you’re inspired by that vision, there are plenty of ways to get involved—join a committee, share your insight, or lend your voice to our conversation. Your input helps shape what’s next.
