by The reformers aka NRA 2.0 have coalesced on supporting Charles Hiltunen III for the 76th Director. As Frank Tait notes in his Substack post, he is fully supporting Charlie for the 76th Director. He asks that anyone considering supporting him to please support Charlie.
As I’ve said earlier here and elsewhere, I am disappointed that Frank Tait didn’t make the cut. He would have been a valuable addition to the Board based upon his experience with non-profit boards, finance, and audit. As he finished 32nd in the race, two more resignations or deaths put him on the Board.
Charlie is an attorney, lobbyist, instructor, and shooting coach. In addition, he is the President of the Indiana State Rifle & Pistol Association and is the Chair-elect of the Crossroads Council BSA. He touches all the bases and I think he should be elected as the 76th Director. That he, Frank, and Todd Vandermyde didn’t make the cut greatly surprised me.
We don’t know who will be his primary opponent but I suspect it will either be Tom King or Ron Schmeits.
As a reminder, anyone who is a NRA member attending the Annual Meeting in Atlanta is eligible to vote for the 76th Director. I understand voting is in Room 403 on the 4th Floor of Building B of the Georgia World Congress Center which is where you pick up your credentials for the Meeting of Members. Voting closes at the conclusion of the Meeting of Members.
And can we expect the “reformers” to terminate John Frazer as Secretary, and make a functioning communications system so members can email directors without the Secretary’s interference?
You do know that the board gave Sec. Frazer full authority over member to director communications, correct?
