Frank Gaffney departs CSP after 36 years

After more than three decades of leadership and tireless service, the founder and former Executive Chairman of The Center for Security Policy, Frank Gaffney is moving on in order to devote full-time to a series of vitally important patriotic efforts that he has also founded, including the nonprofit Save The Persecuted Christians, and his “Securing America” TV show, on Real America’s Voice.

Gaffney founded the Center for Security Policy in 1987. A devoted Cold Warrior and Reaganite, Gaffney played a key role in helping to forge a dominate American era of Peace Through Strength.

Gaffney recognized the risk posed by those who would fritter away those gains by acquiescing to creeping violations of American sovereignty, the rise of Communist China, and turning a blind eye to the threat of sharia supremacism.

“No one in Washington has been a more energetic and devoted defender of American security interests, principles, and traditions than Frank Gaffney,” said CSP Chairman of the Board, Andy Miller.  “He ran the Center fearlessly for more than three decades and inspired the Center’s commitment to unflinching truth-telling.”

In 2019 Gaffney stepped down from the day to day running of the organization as President and CEO, becoming Executive Chairman. He hand-picked as his successor Lt. Col. Tommy Waller (USMC Ret.) as the new President and CEO in 2021. Waller, a combat veteran and former Commander of 3d Force Reconnaissance Company, has been with CSP for more than a decade. The board has every confidence in Lt. Col. Waller’s continued leadership.
