PAVING THE ROAD TO SUCCESS In an industry traditionally led by men, three Florida State alumnae have risen to the top as senior level executives at one of the largest toll road agencies in the country. By Dan Tracy
Three women – all graduates of Florida State University – have paved the path to the top executive level at the Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX), Metro Orlando’s transportation network that supports tens of millions of travelers each year. Executive Director Laura Kelley (B.S. ’84), Chief Financial Officer Lisa Lumbard (B.S. ’93) and Chief of Staff/Public Affairs Officer Michelle Maikisch (B.S. ’89) were promoted to their roles in 2014 after the precursor to CFX, the Orlando Orange County Expressway Authority, was reconfigured and expanded.
