"Dear Employee" letter from Wayne

Dear Employees,

As you know, the NRA continuously pursues new business and strategic options in the interests of the Association and our members. Along these lines, we are going to explore the marketability and potential sale of our headquarters.

The NRA has long considered a move of its headquarters – and has been working to identify a new location that allows us to enhance our advocacy and national platform, recognize operational efficiencies, and become an even stronger organization. Assuming we find such a location and favorable opportunity to sell the HQ, we will present such plans to the Board of Directors for approval. I want you to be aware of these ongoing developments.

Naturally, there will be no impacts to our staffing, our programs, or our Second Amendment advocacy as we explore this opportunity and many others. We remain committed to the fight for freedom.

Thank you for your support of our mission.

Sincerely,

Wayne
Precursor to moving NRA Headquarters to Texas?

Moving to Texas would add to our bragging rights, but their mission is in Washington DC.

Downsize DC and move TC training to Texas?

Moving to Texas would almost certainly affect their staffing. How many of the current employees can afford or desire the move? And how many have spouses who work, etc.

I can see moving some of it, at least the official HQ, to Texas, but most of it will need to stay in DC, IMO. As pointed out, that is where their primary mission now (lobbying) is.

NRA-ILA has an office in DC already so the main people whose mission is in DC are already there.

A location in Texas is just speculation at this time.
