Watchful Vigilance | Freedoms Foundation Underpins NRA
The National Rifle Association (NRA) recently held its 154th Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Atlanta, attracting over 70,000 members. The event was filled with a sense of camaraderie and excitement, as members gathered to discuss the future of the organization.
The reelected leadership team, chosen by representatives elected by the membership, included Bill Bachenberg as the new NRA President, Carolyn Meadows as the President elected in 2021, Mark Vaughan as the First Vice President, and Rocky Marshall as the Second Vice President.
John Commerford was reappointed as the executive director of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA), while Josh Savani continued his role as the executive director of NRA General Operations. Sonya B. Rowling was reelected as NRA Treasurer, Robert Mensinger as NRA Chief Compliance Officer, and John C. Frazer as NRA Secretary.
The focus of the NRA leadership was clear: reinvigorating the NRA's competitions, legislative and legal efforts, and membership drives. The writer, who expressed the importance of retaining the right to defend lives and liberty, shared this sentiment with all members.
The event featured various events such as the Foundation Banquet and Auction, Women's Leadership Brunch & Auction, NRA Country 'Freedom Experience' concert, and National Prayer Breakfast. John Rich gave a speech on the history of the Second Amendment at the NRA Country 'Freedom Experience' concert, with Big & Rich performing.
Interviews were conducted in the 'Voices of the Second Amendment' section for media on the show floor, providing a platform for members to share their thoughts and experiences.
The Annual Meeting of Members had an upbeat vibe, with a resolution adopted that focuses on transparency and accountability. The resolution asks the Board to create a website for NRA members that will expand access to NRA financial and governance reports and consider live-streaming Board meetings to all NRA members.
As the event comes to a close, the NRA looks forward to its next Annual Meetings & Exhibits, which will be held in Houston in April 2026. The writer encourages readers to go to nra.org to sign up a new member, renew membership, or donate.
