I'm one of the lesser known candidates running for the NRA board and only one of three that was dual nominated both
by the nominating committee and the members.
I'm the only one that is not a current board member who was dual nominated.
That's encouraging that the members and the board want change but also its a challenge for me since I'm not a household name.
Getting my name out to the public is crucial so that members can recognise me and ideally support my vision for the board.
Ballots will be sent to NRA members in late January with their February NRA magazines.
My hope is that members will be familiar with Rob Beckman from Cincinnati, Ohio, before then.
Thanks,
Rob Beckman
