Family Advisory Committee

From its inception in 2001, The Massachusetts 9/11 Fund designated in its by-laws that “there shall be an advisory committee” made up of families who lost loved ones on 9/11/01. Who is in a better position to advise a Board of Directors comprised of volunteers from a broad sector of professions and interests, than a representative group of those most affected?

This committee has accepted an even more comprehensive responsibility beginning in 2011 as the Family Advisory Committee (FAC) became the working body of The Fund since the Board of Directors made the decision to dramatically reduce programmatic and administrative staff of the organization. This change is a testimony to the energy, will and commitment of the FAC that the mission of The Fund will continue unabated.

Committee Members are: Karin Giansanti (Chair), Patricia Hoban (Vice Chair), Leslie Blair, Iris Friedman, Diane Hunt, and Teresa Mathai

Volunteer

Volunteers are the backbone of The Massachusetts 9/11 Fund. You can help support our families who lost loved ones in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and ensure that those lost on 9/11 are not forgotten. To volunteer, please fill out the form:

High school classroom with students sitting at desks, paying attention to a teacher standing at the front, and decorated with a Native American art poster, pride flag, and American flag.
Young woman with long brown hair, wearing a black t-shirt and a lanyard, places her hand on a large silver ceremonial bell with a handle shaped like a bird.

Thank you for volunteering to help support our mission to commemorate, educate and remember. The volunteer coordinator for The Massachusetts 9/11 Fund will contact you shortly to explore how you can help.
