Join the Next Generation of FEHSF
The Federal Enforcement Homeland Security Foundation invites you to the official launch reception for its Emerging Leaders Committee, a selective community designed to engage the next generation committed to supporting federal law enforcement officers and their families.
Meet FEHSF leadership, connect with professionals across law enforcement, national security and a range of industries, and learn how Committee members can contribute their time, relationships, ideas and resources to the Foundation’s mission.
The evening will include remarks from Steve Gonzalez, retired FBI and member of the FEHSF National Advisory Board, along with other members of the FEHSF community.
Guests who feel aligned with the Committee’s purpose will have the opportunity to begin the application process and play an active role in expanding FEHSF’s impact.
What Is the Emerging Leaders Committee?
The Emerging Leaders Committee brings together like-minded professionals ages 18–40 who share a genuine respect for public service and want a meaningful, hands-on way to stand behind the federal agents and officers who protect our nation and support their families in times of need or hardship.
Committee members can:
- Make an immediate difference by helping FEHSF support agents and families facing tragedy or urgent financial hardship
- Volunteer their time and professional skills to advance Foundation priorities
- Build relationships across federal law enforcement, national security, public service and adjacent industries
- Play a direct role in fundraising initiatives, Foundation events and securing partnerships that expand FEHSF’s reach
- Participate in conversations, briefings, visits and other experiences that offer a closer look at the field
- Mobilize support for the Ridge Awards Gala in October and other year-round programs
- Help shape the Committee’s programming, membership and future
This is more than a professional network. It is an active community built around service, shared purpose and direct impact.
Membership and Commitment
Membership in the Emerging Leaders Committee is selective and subject to an application and approval process. Attendance at the launch reception does not constitute or guarantee membership.
Accepted members make a $250 initiation contribution and commit to annual support, fulfilled through personal giving, fundraising and/or participation in FEHSF events.
Members are expected to participate actively, contribute to at least one Committee priority and help introduce the mission to others.

If you share our respect for those who serve and are prepared to play an active role in supporting them, we invite you to join us for the evening.
