2013 day of service

2013 DAY OF SERVICE
Employees across the company recently participated in our third annual Day of Service, an
initiative focused on enhancing the communities in which we live and work.
More than 1,600 employees collectively logged over 8,000 hours of community service
as part of this year’s effort, which resulted in more than 40 communities being impacted
through a variety of different service projects.
We are tremendously thankful to all the offices and employees who took part in this year’s
effort and continue to prove that we truly are leaders in everything we do - including
giving back to our communities.
