NEW YORK, NY – August 19, 2026 – Voices Center for Resilience (VOICES) is proud to announce that Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton will take part in a conversation on Thursday, September 10th at the VOICES 25th Anniversary NYC Symposium, titled “Honoring the Past, Shaping the Future.” The event reflects on the enduring impact of 9/11 and advances the lessons that continue to guide us. The three-day symposium brings together prominent national and international experts to address national security, the long-term needs of victims’ families, survivors, and responders, and to share expertise gained in helping communities heal following tragedy.
Secretary Clinton’s involvement carries added meaning as the country nears this significant anniversary. As a U.S. Senator representing New York on September 11, 2001, she played a central role in the immediate response and recovery operations in New York City and Washington, D.C. In later years, she remained a determined advocate for the rebuilding of New York City and for addressing the ongoing health concerns of first responders who put their lives at risk at Ground Zero.
“We are deeply honored that Secretary Clinton will join us for this important milestone,” said Mary Fetchet, LCSW, VOICES Founding Director and President. “Twenty-five years ago, our lives were forever changed. Secretary Clinton witnessed firsthand the profound impact of 9/11 on our families, New York City, and our nation. Her leadership and dedication were critical in helping the 9/11 Community navigate a path forward, including her efforts to champion the James Zadroga Act. We are looking forward to hearing her personal experience in the aftermath of 9/11 and in the years following as Secretary of State.”
Secretary Clinton will emphasize the lasting lessons of September 11 and the extraordinary resilience shown by individuals and communities in the U.S. and beyond. She will also explore how those lessons can inform us as we tackle new challenges and work to build safer, stronger, and more resilient communities.
“Nearly 25 years after the horrific events of 9/11, there is so much still to be done to support and honor the survivors, families, and heroes of that day,” said Former Secretary of State and U.S. Senator from New York Hillary Rodham Clinton. “I’m honored to join the Voices Center for Resilience as they continue that vital, and too often thankless, work.”
