CLUB & ASSOCIATION

XC Category Report: September - October 2018

614 devoted NRA Club Recruiters have recruited over 20,300 members so far in 2018. Clubs have increased their commitment all summer by signing up a higher percentage of club members and seeking out events for NRA membership drives. Strategies that may work well for some clubs may not apply to others, so it is important to find the most effective method for your club to recruit consistently. To simplify the process, many clubs associate the annual renewal of their club’s memberships with NRA membership renewal.

RETAILER & INDIVIDUAL

XR Category Report: September - October 2018

As we get closer to midterm elections, the hysteria around gun control will only increase. This is a crucial time to bring in more members to the NRA and not the time to rest on our successes from the beginning of the year. Stand strong and sign up new members to fight back. It is easy to lose focus on memberships because we won the elections in 2016; however, we must not become complacent. Andy Grove—one of the founders and past CEO’s of Intel—once said, “Success breeds complacency. Complacency breeds failure.” This quote is great motivation for us right now. Continue to restore the Second Amendment, build on each victory and do not settle for past victories.
