VOICES is delighted to announce this year's emcee, honoree, and musical guest for our 25th Anniversary Always Remember Gala, Honoring the Past, Shaping the Future, as we mark 25 years since 9/11 and the founding of VOICES.
As I reflect on the anniversary, I'm grateful to who helped mark this milestone: our sponsors, speakers, volunteers, and performers. This Symposium gave us time to remember those lost, honor who serve, and share what we've learned.
After the 25th Anniversary of 9/11, join us for a special Our Voices Together webinar to reflect on the significance of this milestone. This conversation provides an opportunity to connect with others, share experiences, and learn about resources.
