Some of DAVIS key leadership promotions include Jon Hancher, who was named Vice President

Our Internship program leads to many new full time DAVIS employees. We seek out intern candidates
who will thrive in the DAVIS environment and challenge them to learn about our industry and the
people who make things happen from day one. They are integrated into our teams and have the
opportunity to gain that knowledge by working with our talented employee teams using DAVIS cutting
edge tools and technology. When the internship is over, we want them to look back at not only what
they learned, but what they contributed to their teams success, says Bill Moyer, DAVIS Executive Vice
President.
