On July 20, young professionals gathered at the Bemis Woods Forest Preserve to kick off the first-ever joint networking event for young professionals in Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing and Construction! Though the it was rainy in the morning, the weather cleared and it was a beautiful day for a picnic, complete with gourmet food trucks, games and music. Attendees found some respite from the sun by ducking into the photo booth and were able to cool down with the water balloon toss. Thank you to the Mechanical Contractors Association for inviting us to partner; we look forward to a similarly enjoyable event next year!
