by You have to be f’ing kidding me. The NRA trial in the State of New York starts in approximately one month and Wayne LaPierre picks now to replace Joe DeBergalis, Executive Director of NRA’s General Operations, with the organization’s PR flack. What in the hell is going on?
This went out today:
Effective immediately, I have appointed Andrew Arulanandam as interim executive director of NRA General Operations, replacing Joe DeBergalis. We wish Joe and his family all the best.
Andrew has more than 23 years of experience with the NRA, working for the Association and NRA-ILA. He currently serves as the managing director of public affairs. During his career, he has assisted with a wide range of corporate initiatives, messaging and crisis communications programs, and events at the local, regional, and national levels. He held numerous senior leadership positions in private and public organizations before joining the NRA.
Please join me in congratulating Andrew on his new position and in thanking Joe for his service to the NRA.
Wayne
I started hearing a rumor about DeBergalis being ousted yesterday but could not get a confirmation. Now I have nothing against Andrew Arulanandam other than I can never pronounce his name properly but this makes no sense whatsoever. His expertise according to his LinkedIn profile has always been politics and communications strategy.
As I said in the first paragraph, what the hell is going on in Fairfax? And why now?
