I hope everyone had a Happy New Year and congratulations on a great 2016! If it weren't for our members' support and all of your hard work and dedication, we wouldn't have had such monumental success in this past election cycle.
Recruiting in the Central Region was up 24% in 2016! This brought us to a total in our region of 29,646 memberships, up from the 25,407 in 2015. While this is a great accomplishment, we can do even better in 2017. It is critical, especially after the election cycle that we continue to work hard. Now is the time to push forward, let members know we must go on the offense to protect the Second Amendment. Now is the time for real change!
I wanted to congratulate the following recruiters on their hard work and phenomenal success this past year. Without all of you none of this would have been possible!

Thanks again, Central Team, for all your hard work! I have enjoyed working with you over the past couple of months and it's been a pleasure getting to know you all. If you haven't heard from me yet, please give me a call and let me know how you are doing. I am looking forward to the year to come as I know we will do great things!
The NRA Recruiting program provides a great opportunity for NRA members to strengthen the NRA by increasing membership and earn extra money at the same time!
