Here are a few highlights of our accomplishments in 2018:
 |
VOICES held three conferences, each bringing together 9/11 families, survivors and responders, and those impacted by other tragedies. The events provided an opportunity for leading mental health practitioners, service providers, and researchers to share their expertise in fields such as trauma, bereavement, resiliency, and 9/11-related illnesses.
|
 |
VOICES 9/11 Living Memorial Digital Archive, which commemorates the 2,977 lives lost and documents stories of survivors, continues to grow. This year, our staff met one-on-one with families to expand the Living Memorial collection to over 85,000 photographs and personal mementos.
|
 |
VOICES launched Knowledge to Practice: Actionable Recommendations for Victims and First Responders to Better Plan and Heal from Mass Violence. Our staff is conducting interviews with 9/11 families, survivors, responders, and key stakeholders to further examine findings from research that VOICES conducted in 2015.
|
 |
VOICES hosted 12 college and high school summer interns, who learned about 9/11 by working alongside our staff. The interns researched 9/11 topics, conducted dozens of interviews, and produced a short film, Reflecting and Moving Forward - Stories of Resiliency After 9/11 which was presented to the community and at a September assembly.

VOICES fundraising events included our 10th Annual Always Remember Gala at the New York Athletic Club and 4th Annual Golf Outing at Westchester Country Club. Pictured at left are Gala award recipients Leon E. Panetta, Former Secretary of Defense, and Lara Logan, 60 Minutes Foreign Correspondent, with Emcee Mike Greenberg.

 |
VOICES participated in 15 conferences in the United States and abroad this year, sharing our expertise with over 4,000 professionals from federal agencies, law enforcement and social service organizations. VOICES remains committed to sharing our lessons learned to assist communities in responding to acts of mass violence.
|
On behalf of all of us at VOICES, we extend our thanks to each of you who contributed to our work. We are especially grateful for your friendships, partnerships, and generous donation of time, treasure, and talent.
Together we are making a difference!

Sincerely,  Mary Fetchet & the VOICES Staff |
