Fred Dombo Discusses Pro Bono Efforts For 9/11 National Day of Service and Remembrance 

Fred Dombo was interviewed for the Top of Mind with Julie Rose podcast episodes “The Untold Story of How America Remembers 9/11 – PART 1” and “The Untold Story of How America Remembers 9/11 – Part 2.” Fred spoke about his involvement in, and pro-bono work for, the 9/11 National Day of Service and Remembrance.

For 22 years, Fred has provided pro bono support to the nonprofit “9/11 Day” (formerly MyGoodDeed), helping build bipartisan momentum in Congress to officially recognize September 11 as a national day dedicated to service. This recognition first took shape in a 2004 Concurrent Resolution of the U.S. Senate and House and later became part of federal law through the bipartisan Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act of 2009. Today, it stands as the largest federally recognized day of service in the country. Throughout this effort, Fred has offered legal and advocacy guidance that continues to strengthen the organization’s mission — encouraging public and private entities across the nation to honor those lost on 9/11 through community, compassion and meaningful acts of service.

Additionally, a new documentary film, "9/11 Day," was released on the program. Emmy Award-winning filmmakers Jon Siskel and Greg Jacob created the film which tells the story of the transformation of the anniversary of 9/11 from a day of tragedy into a national day of unity and service.

Fred serves as chair of Nossaman's Government Relations & Regulation Group. He combines experience as an aide to Members of the U.S. House of Representatives Committees on Appropriations and Energy & Commerce with nearly 28 years of private practice to provide clients with cost effective advice on the legal and political implications of their government relations activities.
