American Welding Society (AWS), Miami, has named David J. Landon, manager of welding engineering for Vermeer Corp. in Pella, Iowa, as 2015 president and chair of the board.

An active member of the society for more than 30 years, he served as vice president from 2012 to 2014. Landon also has been a contributing member to many technical committees and won several awards from the society, including the District 16 Dalton E. Hamilton Memorial Certified Welding Inspector of the Year Award and numerous meritorious awards. Landon holds a bachelor’s degree in welding engineering from LeTourneau University.

His passion for training new welders and mentoring others will be the main focus of his presidential year and the inspiration for the AWS Iowa Section’s launching the David J. Landon Scholarship. The endowment is made possible by donations from the Iowa Section of AWS, Vermeer Corp., and the matching gift program of AWS.
