(New York, N.Y.) – The Counter Extremism Project (CEP) today announced the
addition of the former U.S. Department of State Ambassador-at-Large and
Coordinator for CounterterrorismNathan A. Sales
<[link removed]> to its
Advisory Board.

 

“We are honored to have Ambassador Sales join the advisory board,” said CEP
CEO Ambassador Mark D. Wallace. “He brings vast experience, knowledge, and
expertise to the issues central to our organization and we look forward to his
insights on how to best counter the challenges and threats that confront the
United States and its allies.”

 

“Ambassador Sales’ understanding of the complex and ever-changing nature of
the extremist threat to public safety is exceptional,” said CEP President and
former U.S. Homeland Security Advisor Frances F. Townsend. “It will be a great
privilege to work with him to help make CEP’s programs and initiates stronger
and more effective.”

 

Ambassador Sales was unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate as Coordinator
for Counterterrorism on August 3, 2017, and he served in that role until
January 2021. He also served concurrently as Under Secretary of State for
Civilian Security, Democracy, and Human Rights (acting) and as Special
Presidential Envoy to the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS.

 

In his role at the State Department, Ambassador Sales played an integral role
in developing and implementing the landmark 2017 U.N. Security Council
Resolution 2396 on terrorist travel, and he successfully pressed NATO to make
counterterrorism a central mission of the Alliance. He oversaw U.S. efforts to
combat international white supremacist terrorism and led diplomatic engagements
to persuade a dozen key partners in Europe and the Americas to designate
Hezbollah in its entirety as a terrorist organization.

 

“CEP is an indispensable source of expert analysis that policymakers rely on
when developing strategies to address the evolving threat of extremism,” said
Ambassador Sales. “CEP’s work was essential reading for my team and me at the
State Department, and I am thrilled to join the organization and help its
efforts to build a more secure future.”
