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.
