With sincere appreciation, we are announcing that Alisa Lykens is retiring today after 8 years with Insignia. As Regulatory Services Manager for the South Central/Eastern Region, her depth of experience, positive attitude, and reliability have consistently elevated our work, and many of us have benefited from her guidance and partnership over the years.
Prior to joining Insignia, Alisa worked for more than 30 years as a federal regulator of energy projects and a National Environmental Policy Act expert. Her subject matter expertise in environmental justice comes from the stakeholder outreach she conducted over the years, including working directly with representatives of Native American tribes; federal, state, and local agencies; and public citizens. She has performed hundreds of natural gas pipeline construction inspections, ensuring compliance with agency conditions and erosion control requirements. Furthermore, hundreds of environmental impact statements/assessments were issued under her management over the course of her consulting and federal career.
Alisa earned a Bachelor of Science in Biological Resources from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. In her free time, she likes to travel across the country with her dogs, visit friends and family, and root for Washington, D.C. sports teams.
The Insignia team will miss Alisa both professionally and personally. Please join us in celebrating Alisa’s amazing career and wishing her well in this exciting next chapter!
