2014 Show Recruiter of the Year: David Conte

Since 2010, David Conte has been an integral part of the Show Recruiting Program. Following the record year of 2013 was no easy task but he was able to recruit 2,070 members last year, a 78% increase from 2013! The huge upswing in members in large part stemmed from an increased number of events and taking advantage of the "Join NRA Get in Free" promotion at every gun show.

David is always willing to go the extra mile for the organization. Recruiting at gun shows in Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi and Ohio, he never misses an opportunity to find new members. David is also a top producer in our Semi-Annual Cabela's Weekend and has been able to create a great business relationship with the store managers. From flea markets to machine gun shoots, gun stores to gun shows, there are not many recruiting opportunities David misses out on.

Along with being a Show Recruiter, David also volunteers his time to the NRA whenever he can. He attends and volunteers at The Great American Outdoor Show, NRA Annual Meetings and numerous NRA staff events. David also serves as an Election Volunteer Coordinator with NRA-ILA and worked as a Campaign Field Representative during the recent elections.

David always does everything he can to promote the NRA in Tennessee and surrounding areas. He is a great ambassador for the NRA and always looks for ways to add NRA members. He is a great example of how increasing events of all types will continue to improve your recruiting numbers. Congratulations to the 2014 NRA Show Recruiter of the Year!
