Among the attendees and speakers at the event was Laurie Yori, Poole & Kent Assistant Project Manager at The Johns Hopkins Hospital New Clinical Building project, a proud breast cancer survivor, who brought a personal perspective to the event. For many years, Laurie has been at the heart of the company's support of the issue of breast cancer, and is passionate about EMCOR's Pink Hard Hat Program.
