C.W. Driver Companies continued its longstanding commitment to advancing women in the construction industry with three new executive leadership promotions in July. Milenne Vega was elevated to superintendent, Megan Morrissey was promoted to senior project manager, and Lynda Hauke was appointed to vice president of human resources.
These promotions are meant to inspire others who may be considering this field, that in an industry where women only represent approximately 11% of the construction workforce, according to the National Association of Homebuilders, the firm said.
Vega oversees a variety of projects ranging from $1 million renovations to $200 million luxury multifamily units. Carrying a decade of experience, Vega’s expertise spans numerous sectors, including K-12 modernizations, residential developments, and complex tenant improvement projects throughout Southern California.
Morrissey has managed much of Driver’s most critical and complex developments. She led teams and projects to success following the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires and is also directing work on the upcoming MonteCedro Senior Living Phase II complex in Altadena. Morrissey also possesses 17 years of industry experience across multiple market sectors: K-12 and higher education, multifamily and senior living, and entertainment for NBCUniversal.
Hauke launched the firm’s annual Women in Construction event, which builds the opportunity for women to learn, grow, and connect. She has also implemented volunteer initiatives, competitive benefits, flexible work schedules and a people-first culture which has consistently put the firm as a top workplace throughout Southern California.
“Building better communities means building strong leadership from within,” said Brent Hughes, COO of C.W. Driver Companies. “The elevation of Milenne, Megan and Lynda embodies the leadership and innovation that drives our industry forward and reflects how women are shaping the future of construction.”
