Doug Hamlin will serve as NRA Executive Vice President and CEO. This announcement followed the 153rd NRA Annual Meetings &amp; Exhibits, attended by over 72,000 NRA members. They explored the latest firearms, gear, and accessories from nearly 700 exhibitors at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Saturday, President Trump delivered the keynote address at the NRA Leadership Forum. He accepted the NRA Political Victory Fund&#8217;s endorsement for his re-election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI thank my colleagues for their support of my election as NRA President,\u201d said Bob Barr. \u201cI have been a fighter my whole life and I commit to boldly fight for our Second Amendment rights on behalf of the millions of NRA members. We need to grow our ranks, especially in this election year, and I pledge to focus my attention on doing just that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NRA Board of Directors also elected William A. Bachenberg as NRA First Vice President and Mark E. Vaughan as NRA Second Vice President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-trump-is-right-about-increasing-cime-rates-says-lott\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/trump-is-right-about-increasing-cime-rates-says-lott\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nra-board-elects-new-leadership\" title=\"NRA Board Elects New Leadership\">Trump Is Right About Increasing Cime Rates, Says Lott<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Doug Hamlin, the new NRA Executive Vice President and CEO, previously served as Executive Director of NRA Publications. Before joining the NRA in 2014, he worked in the publishing industry, holding various positions at Petersen Publishing Company. He was also vice president and group publisher of Motor Trend magazine and publisher of Guns &amp; Ammo magazine. Hamlin served six years as a Marine Officer, including overseas with the Third Marine Division. He has been active in veteran charitable causes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am truly humbled to be elected by the NRA Board of Directors as the next Executive Vice President &amp; CEO of the NRA,\u201d said Doug Hamlin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur Association is at a decisive moment in our history, and the future of America and constitutional freedoms depends on the success of the NRA. I look forward to working with NRA staff to execute NRA\u2019s gold standard programs and promote political and public policies that are in the best interest of our members and all gun owners,&#8221; he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following his election, Hamlin re-appointed Randy Kozuch as Executive Director of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action. He also appointed Joseph P. De Bergalis, Jr. as Executive Director of NRA General Operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Board of Directors re-elected Sonya B. Rowling as NRA Treasurer and John C. Frazer as NRA Secretary. The NRA membership voted to create the position of NRA Chief Compliance Officer. Robert Mensinger was elected to serve in this role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong><em>*** <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"nra-board-elects-new-leadership\" title=\"NRA Board Elects New Leadership\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a> ***<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NRA Board of Directors has elected former U.S. Congressman Bob Barr as President.
