Bryan Connelly – Certified Welding Inspector of the Year

Exciting things happened for Eustis Engineering’s Director of Welding Inspection and NDT,Bryan Connelly, CWI. He was awarded the Dalton E. Hamilton Memorial CWI of the Year Section Award for 2023-2024. This prestigious award is presented annually by the American Welding Society to individuals participating in the Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) program. It recognizes those whose inspection practices, professional activities, and civic engagement have enhanced public awareness and opinion of both the Society and the CWI program, or who have made outstanding contributions to the science of welding inspection.

What made the day even more meaningful was Bryan’s son’s presence, alongside the current American Welding Society president, Richard Holdren. Many years ago, Richard and Bryan’s grandfather worked together on the AWS D1 committees, and now Bryan has the privilege of working with some of the same individuals.

Congratulations Bryan, on an honor well-deserved!
