The Unifying Voice For Advertising

09/11/2026

To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, here are some of the ways you can honor the victims, survivors, and first responders:

—Donate to the Never Forget Fund or the Pentagon Memorial Fund
—Visit the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, The 9/11 Pentagon Memorial, Flight 93 National Memorial
—Post a Remember the Sky Social Media Tribute
—Leave a Digital Tribute on the Blue Sky Remembrance Wall

Learn more at 911memorial.org, pentagonmemorial.org, nps.gov/flni

Each year on the anniversary of 9/11, the families of victims gather for a ceremony on the 9/11 Memorial Plaza to read aloud the names of the 2,983 men, women, and children killed in the September 11, 2001 attacks and the February 26, 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Six moments of silence mark the times when each of the World Trade Center towers was struck, when each tower fell, and the times corresponding to the attack at the Pentagon and the crash of United Airlines Flight 93 in Pennsylvania. A seventh moment of silence, at the conclusion of the reading of the names, honors those lost to 9/11 health effects.

What happens to our sense of identity when work stops being just a place we go?

In the debut episode of The Shift with Greg James, Havas Media Network North America CEO (and AAF Board Member), Greg James sits down with Joy Doyin Ogunneye and Nat Chavis for a cross-generational conversation about identity, authenticity, and how we define our value beyond our job titles.

The new podcast brings together industry leaders and next-gen voices to explore the shifts shaping the way we work — and asks one central question: Is this new working world actually working for us?

Episode 1: Identity, Authenticity & Value is out now: linktr.ee/TheShiftPod
