Dear Family and Friends,
Today we learned that Alice Greenwald, President & CEO of the 9/11 Memorial & Museum plans to step down after dedicating 16 years to the creation of this world class institution. We are grateful for her compassion and steadfast stewardship of our nation’s 9/11 story.
Alice joined the 9/11 Memorial in 2006 when the Museum was just a vision. Under her leadership she brought together key stakeholders, including the 9/11 families, responders and survivors. She brought intellect and sensitivity that was essential to documenting the most devastating terrorist attack in our country’s history.
Over the past 16 years we have had the honor of working with Alice on a range of projects, including VOICES 9/11 Living Memorial. She was passionate about honoring those who died by incorporating these images and personal stories as the centerpiece of the Museum’s In Memoriam exhibition.
Alice was also a constant presence at VOICES events, where she generously gave of her time to update and engage with the 9/11 community. She recognized the need for ongoing dialogue, and included us in a variety of committees to inform the Museums plans, such as the creation of the Memorial Glade, which honors the 9/11 responders and survivors.
Most of all, we consider Alice a dear friend and we wish her well in her next endeavor. It has been a privilege to work with Alice, and we are forever grateful for her important contributions that have left a legacy for future generations.
With gratitude,
