by Jim Wallace was elected as the 76th Director yesterday. His closest competitor was Joel Friedman who was the “official” candidate of leadership. This is further shows that reformers are gaining in strength as they coalesced to support Wallace.
By my count, a total of 740 votes were cast or approximately 1% of the total number who voted in the 2024 Board election.

In another interesting development that I learned of this morning, Carl Rowan, Jr. resigned from the Board. His position will be filled by Joel Friedman who was the first runner-up in the 2024 Board election. Since the resignation came after the Meeting of Members, Friedman will only serve until the next Annual Meeting.
NRA info from RELIABLE source:
Reportedly, by 3:15 pm EST today (Sunday, May 19), powers-that-be at the NRA had paid Bill Brewer millions of $$$ because he insisted on being paid before tomorrow. His demand (that reportedly came on Thursday night) was for $20-million-plus — on top of the $200 million he already has been paid.
However, reportedly, NRA did not have the full $20million he demanded, so the NRA only paid him “millions.”
Reportedly, NRA Treasurer Sonya Rowling paid only because Andrew Arulanandam, acting interim Executive VP, ordered her in writing to do so. Reportedly, Sonya initially refused to pay it, but when ordered in writing, she paid Brewer.
I am posting this under my name (Alice Marie Beard). However, please understand that I am NOT the source of the info. The info came to me from an exceptionally reliable source.

I got the same information passed to me by a former Board member. It correlates with a letter I just received from a group of NRA staff and former staff who remain anonymous for the sake of their jobs.
