by Change in the composition of the NRA Board of Directors seems to be happening daily. I just received a notice that longtime board member David Coy has resigned due to his being elected as Treasurer of the NRA Foundation. This was done to avoid a conflict of interest.
Normally the next runner-up would fill this position. That would be Frank Tait. However, Frank declined and thus it passed to Regis Synan who has accepted. Regis will serve until the close of the 2026 Annual Meeting of the Members in Houston. Regis who is from western Pennsylvania was part of the NRA 2.0 ticket in 2025.
Regis is the mayor of Murrysville, PA as well as the President of manufacturing company F. Tinker & Sons. He is on the ballot for the 2026 NRA Board election. A Benefactor Life member, Regis has served as a trustee of the NRA Foundation as well as on a number of NRA committees.
The final year of David Coy’s term will be filled in the 2026 NRA Board of Directors election. This will make a total of 28 seats filled out of the 38 candidates on the ballot. There will be the 25 regular 3-year terms to be filled, one 2-year term, one 1-year term, and then the remaining 11 runners-up will vie for the 1-year term of the 76th Director.
What do you think about Tait’s decision?
Not speaking for John, but if memory serves Frank said it was made clear to him that he was still unwelcome and even if he was elected he would be a BOD member in title only with no committee posts and no chance to do anything.
Addendum: Let me make this crystal clear, to shiv Frank is to stand with Wayne.
Yup. That and the stories that one of Bill’s most rewarded allies (9 committee assignments compared to the Board average of 4.1 for those who received anything at all) was targeting Frank to not get votes as part of reform…it’s clear to see the writing on the wall.
At the risk of being repetitive… has anyone compiled a roster of where the candidates are this year between Team Wayne, Team Us and Undecided? Trying to keep track of almost 40 is a handful…
