Then there is the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/2019\/06\/12\/the-spiro-agnew-of-nra.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spiro Agnew of the NRA<\/a><\/strong>, 1st VP Willes Lee, who only first got on the Board in 2017 when he filled an open position. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rest of the list is filled with people who can be depended upon not to make waves nor cause problems for Wayne. I wish I was wrong on that but I doubt it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only North Carolinian on the list is Cathy Wright of Chapel Hill. About all I know about her is that she won an <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nraila.org\/articles\/20180117\/nra-honors-chapel-hill-grassroots-activist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">award from NRA-ILA<\/a><\/strong> for grassroots activism in 2018 and is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncrpa.org\/member-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">active with the NC Rifle and Pistol Association<\/a><\/strong>. From what I understand, she is their Publicity Chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>UPDATE:<\/strong> I went back to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/2019\/02\/04\/2019-nra-board-of-directors-election.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">check my 2019 ballot<\/a><\/strong> and it is interesting to see who was elected then that did not get re-nominated. The most obvious person missing is Ollie North. While the leading vote getter in the 2019 Board election, his attempt to rein in the Brewer expenses among other things led to Wayne&#8217;s sabotaging him for re-election as President. While still officially a member of the Board of Directors, he hasn&#8217;t been around since that Annual Meeting in Indianapolis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Others current board members on that 2019 ballot who have not been re-nominated include Karl Malone, Mark &#8220;Oz&#8221; Geist, and Bart Skelton. Malone has been on the board for a number of years but has not been actually sworn in to the best of my knowledge. I don&#8217;t know what Oz Geist was left off the ballot. However, Bart Skelton obviously ran afoul of the Friends of Wayne aka the Nominations Committee when he joined Judge Phil Journal is calling for the appointment of an examiner in the bankruptcy case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> I also have learned that Andrea Cerwinske of Gainesville, VA served as the top assistant to former NRA President and former head of General Operations Kayne Robinson. She is now a VP with Aimpoint according to her <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/andrea-cerwinske-746b766\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn profile<\/a><\/strong>. Another role she had at the NRA was as special assistant to Wayne for two plus years. I guess that says everything you will ever need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My first draft of this post made mention that the North Carolina Rifle and Pistol Association could not be bothered to testify at the General Assembly hearings on the repeal of the NC pistol purchase permit. As I didn&#8217;t have confirmation of that when I first posted this, I left it out. I have since gotten confirmation. That, of course, didn&#8217;t stop them for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoland.com\/2021\/08\/north-carolina-passes-pistol-purchase-permit-repeal-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">taking credit<\/a><\/strong> for the repeal which is par for the course.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A friend just passed along the list of official nominees for the 2022 NRA Board of Directors.
