Our Team
The Federal Enforcement Homeland Security Foundation is an independent, federally recognized 501(c)(3) not-for-profit public charity governed by a volunteer Board of Directors committed to one clear mission: standing behind our nation’s law enforcement and national security professionals and their families when crisis strikes.
Our Board members give more than their time. They bring leadership, resources, relationships, judgment, and a deep sense of responsibility to those who serve on the front lines of public safety and national security.
FEHSF is also supported by a distinguished National Advisory Board comprised exclusively of retired law enforcement and national security professionals who served at senior levels across federal, state, and local agencies. These men and women spent their careers protecting communities, defending institutions, confronting threats, and leading through some of the most consequential public-safety challenges of our time.
Many have continued their service beyond government through leadership roles in the private sector, philanthropy, security, public policy, and civic life. Their experience gives FEHSF trusted insight, national reach, and a firsthand understanding of the sacrifices made not only by those who serve, but by the families who stand beside them.
Together, our Board of Directors and National Advisory Board reflect the strength of FEHSF: private citizens, business leaders, and retired public-safety professionals united by a common belief that those who protect this nation should never face tragedy alone.
They have our backs. We have theirs.
Tom Ridge, Honorary Chairman
Governor Tom Ridge has spent his career at the intersection of public service, national security, and executive leadership.
In the aftermath of September 11, 2001, President George W. Bush appointed Governor Ridge as the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security, where he helped lead the nation’s immediate response to a new and evolving threat environment. He later became the first Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, standing up a new federal department that now includes more than 200,000 employees and plays a central role in protecting the homeland.
Before his service in the Bush Administration, Governor Ridge served as a Member of the United States House of Representatives from 1983 to 1995 and as the 43rd Governor of Pennsylvania from 1995 to 2001.
Today, Governor Ridge continues his work in national and global security as Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Ridge Global and Ridge Policy Group, advising clients on cybersecurity, international security, risk management, and the complex challenges facing institutions in an increasingly uncertain world.
