Southern Regional Report: May - June 2020

As our Nation continues to face economic hardship brought on from the global pandemic, NRA Recruiters must find a way to persevere in fighting for our Second Amendment rights by enlisting NRA members. It is uncertain what life will be like one, two or even six months from now, but we must adapt to our circumstances while continuing to act responsibly.

Since we know the shift back to regular life won’t be immediate, it’s important we continue to focus on pushing our web links. Email your links to friends and colleagues, post your web link on social media and make sure your link is prominently posted on any web pages you may run.  If you still need to have a web link created, please reach out to me at [email protected].  Stores and instructors that are currently in operation should be encountering a decent amount of potential new members, since gun sales have recently been on the rise.  Take the time to consider your current recruiting strategy and if there is anything else you might be able to do as you work to grow the NRA.  If you want to discuss which strategy might work best for your unique situation, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

As we enter the summer months, we can be optimistic that clubs will begin to open and events will remain as scheduled.  If and when responsible gatherings are able to resume, it will be a great time to start signing up and renewing members who have let their membership lapse due to the crisis.  If we come back prepared, we should expect a spike in memberships as Second Amendment supporters gain their financial footing.  Our country faces a critical political-pivot point coming out of a crisis such as this, so it is important we do all in our power to make sure the NRA is as strong as ever!
