You are invited to Voices of September 11 Events on 9/9 and 9/10 in NYC

To our friends and clients:

Next Monday marks the 16th anniversary of the terror attacks on our country. We know that this is going to be a difficult week for so many of you. We want to be sure that you know that you are not alone, and that there is a community of advocates and legal, medical and mental health professionals that stand ready to help you. We have been asked to forward this invitation to the Voices of September 11th events this weekend:

• Saturday, September 9: VOICES Resiliency Symposium
• Sunday, September 10: 16th Annual Day of Remembrance Information Forum

Marriott Downtown Hotel | 85 West Street | New York City
Registration Opens: 8:00 am | Program: 9:00 am – 4:00 pm

The programs are free of charge for victims’ family members, survivors, responders and the dedicated professionals who are providing support services for those impacted.

Space is limited and registration is required.

Survivors include individuals who lived, worked, went to school or were in Lower Manhattan. Responders include fire and police departments, union members, mental health professionals, victims’ services, emergency managers, law enforcement, media and others who volunteered in the community.

Register here.

I have been asked to participate on the Victim Compensation Fund update panel, along with Special Master Rupa Bhattacharyya. There are other programs that might interest you, including one regarding the WTC Health Program and another that will discuss advocacy efforts to support responders and survivors.

The events are free to 9/11 family members, responders, survivors and WTC Health Program partners. I look forward to seeing many of you there.
