LEO A DALY to Celebrate Earth Day with Worldwide Volunteerism Effort
Employees and Their Families across 31 Offices Will Spend April 25 Beautifying Local Communities.




International planning, architecture, engineering, interior design, and program management firm LEO A DALY announced that it will celebrate Earth Day 2015 with a worldwide day of volunteerism on April 25. An estimated 625 employees and family members in 31 offices will spend the Saturday after Earth Day in a variety of community-focused cleanup activities.
The Earth Day event, which will mobilize volunteers in the United States and China, is being coordinated by The Futures Council, a group of LEO A DALY company leaders who take on special initiatives to push forward the firm’s vision of “enhancing the quality of the human experience, and the environment.”
“This is LEO A DALY’s 100th year as a company, and the 80th anniversary of our subsidiary LAN. What better way to reinforce our commitment to the next 100 years than to go all-out in volunteering to make our communities, and our world, more livable, beautiful, and green?” said LEO A DALY President Dennis Petersen.
All volunteers will be wearing a t-shirt designed in-house as part of a company-wide design contest. The winning t-shirt, by West Palm Beach employee Tung Chui, depicts several of the firm’s iconic buildings emerging from a green globe.
