LAN PROMOTES
WEBB, SCHWENKE TO
VICE PRESIDENT
Architecture and engineering fi rm
LAN Associates has promoted
Matthew Webb and Ron Schwenke to
the position of vice president.
The Midland Park-based practice
noted that Webb, previously an
assistant vice president, leads its
surveying team and its Vernon offi ce.
He rises to the new post with more
than two decades of experience in
surveying, having joined LAN in 2001
as a high school student and going
on to pursue a degree in surveying
engineering technology while at the
fi rm.
“Matt plays a major role in LAN’s
success, not only by establishing the
basis of many of LAN’s architecture
and engineering
projects by
providing
survey plans but
also by helping
drive overall
company
growth,” LAN
President
Matthew Webb
Thomas
Wighard said. “His natural
leadership abilities, effi ciencies in
delivering services, and business
insights have always made our
surveying department a top
performer. Matt is the ideal person
to take a leadership role in defi ning
the future of LAN.”
In 2009, Webb became the director
of the fi rm’s surveying department
and subsequently grew the division
to service not only LAN’s internal
architecture and engineering
projects but a long list of direct
clients, contractors and title
services companies. He is a licensed
surveyor in New Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware
and Maine.
“I am humbled and honored to have
been appointed to a leadership role
in the management and growth of
LAN’s practice,” Webb said. “LAN
has been a part of my life since high
school, and my experience with the
company pointed me in the direction
of pursuing a career in surveying.
I look forward to contributing to
the overall decision making of the
company that has had such a big
impact on my life.”
Schwenke, also a former assistant
vice president, is the architect in
charge of LAN’s
Voorhees offi ce.
He joined the
fi rm in 2018 and
spearheaded
its expansion
to southern
New Jersey
and greater
Ron Schwenke
Philadelphia,
helping to grow a team whose
clientele includes more than a
dozen school districts, several local
townships, housing authorities and
private clients.
“Ron is a key contributor to the
fi rm’s business development
strategies, including involvement in
numerous business organizations,
marketing efforts and fostering and
maintaining client relationships,”
LAN CEO Ron Panicucci said. “He
understands the business side of the
service industry and recognizes the
importance of work product fl ow.
His work has made LAN’s Voorhees
location a thriving business, and
in recognition of that, we welcome
him as a new member of the offi cer
team.”
LAN Associates noted that, in recent
years, it has steadily grown its core
service offerings and expanded its
geographic presence. Webb and
Schwenke have both played a major
role in that success, the fi rm said,
adding that its board of directors
opted to promote them in mid-August
to better take advantage of their
leadership abilities and business
acumen.
“It was a proud day in my career
when LAN entrusted me to establish
a new presence in the southern
New Jersey/Philadelphia region,”
Schwenke said. “I welcomed the
challenge of developing both a long
list of clients and a team with the
skillset to complete great work.
During my time at LAN, I have come
to understand the dedication and
passion that LAN’s offi cers put into
their work. I feel enamored by the
confi dence the board of directors
have put in me with this promotion
and look forward to both the
challenges and opportunities this new
position presents.”
