With the unfortunate passing of NRA Director Dave Butz last Friday (excellent summary in the American Rifleman here), as the only remaining unelected candidate from the 2022 election, I am now on the NRA Board.
These are challenging times for the NRA with financial and declining membership pressures, as outlined in this Bloomberg article and this NRA In Danger post, and escalating legal pressures, as outlined in this NRA In Danger post.
My positions are clear, and I intend to follow through during my tenure on the board. Per Article IV, Section 2 of the By-Laws, as a candidate filling a vacancy, I will only serve until the conclusion of the 2023 annual meeting of Members.
I will attend the Board meeting in January in Dallas and the NRA Annual meeting and board meeting in Indianapolis on my dime.
Now that I am on the board, I have a fiduciary responsibility to the NRA. I will share what I can.
I turned on the chat feature for this blog and will be as responsive as I can.
It’s election day - GET OUT AND VOTE.
Thanks Frank, for all that you are doing to help improve a potentially great association. Don’t give up.
Congratulations, Frank. I know that you’ll be a great addition to the board.
