Introducing the Southeastern Province Strategus Taskforce: Safeguarding Our Brotherhood The concept of a dedicated Strategus Taskforce was first envisioned under the leadership of the 24th Administration as a proactive measure to strengthen the safety and security of our fraternal spaces. Spearheaded by Brother Vandy Gaffney, Sr., this effort served for years as a quiet but vital force in protecting the sanctity of our meetings, ceremonies, and private gatherings. Brother Gaffney’s commitment and leadership laid the groundwork for what has now become a critical pillar in our province's operations. In today's environment, where digital intrusion, social media leaks, and external threats pose a real danger to the confidentiality and integrity of our fraternal business, the need to expand and fortify this task force has never been more urgent. Closed meetings must remain closed. Rituals must remain protected. Brotherhood must remain undisturbed by outside forces. With that in mind, the Southeastern Province is proud to announce the formal expansion of the Strategus Taskforce, which will now operate with enhanced structure, broader oversight, and increased visibility. This newly formed group will be chaired by the current Province Strategus, ensuring alignment with our broader administrative and ceremonial objectives. Supporting the Chair will be a trusted team of dedicated brothers with a strong background in leadership, security, and fraternal protocol:
Brother Jarrod Browder Brother Kelvin Williams Brother Johnny McDonald Brother Clifton Jefferson
Together, this team will be responsible for overseeing the security of province meetings and events, training local chapter Strategi on proper protocols, and ensuring that the values of discretion, vigilance, and brotherhood are upheld across our jurisdiction. The Strategus Taskforce is not just about physical presence—it is about protecting our traditions, reinforcing our protocols, and preserving the sacred spaces where our brotherhood thrives. As we move forward, this team will play an essential role in ensuring that the Southeastern Province remains both accessible and secure, united and protected.
