PACCAR's Sproull primed for SAE Commercial Vehicle post

As SAE International's new 2017-2020 Commercial Vehicle Sector VP, Landon Sproull intends to bolster the society's involvement in evolving industry regulations and to better cultivate cross-sector alliances.

From his early days as a mechanical engineering student at the University of Evansville to today serving as a vice president at PACCAR, SAE International involvement has been a constant throughout the career of Landon Sproull.

His SAE participation began with the Mini Baja collegiate design competition, then transitioned to the Mid-South and Texas sections as a professional, taking on leadership roles of increasing responsibility and being recognized for his involvement. He was presented the 1995 SAE/AEM Outstanding Young Engineer Award and served as Chair of the Texas Section (1997-98) and Chair of the Sections Board (2000-02), before joining the SAE Board of Directors (2002-04). Sproull now will build onto his SAE leadership resume with the role of 2017-20 Commercial Vehicle Sector Vice President.
