Dan Heath, product support manager for American Augers and Trencor, was elected president of the Great Lakes Trenchless Association at its annual membership meeting. He has been with American Augers since January 2007 and will be the first noncontractor president of the contractor-focused organization.

Accepting the position, Heath says, “One of my primary focuses as acting president for the GLTA will be to put a spotlight on our industry as a viable option for future employment. The GLTA has a good mix of contractors and equipment manufacturers, all of which need good quality employees.”
