The jury also found LaPierre violated his statutory obligation to discharge the duties of his position in good faith and with care. Former CFO Wilson \u201cWoody\u201d Phillips was also found guilty of violating his duties. LaPierre and Phillips were ordered to pay back $5.4 million and $2 million, respectively, to the NRA.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the NRA committed to the court, we will continue to pursue improvements to our commitment to good governance,\u201d NRA President Bob Barr said. \u201cWe thank the board for its support and salute our loyal members. Freedom prevails again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This trial\u2019s conclusion also makes it possible for the NRA to move forward with its course correction, which involves new compliance procedures overseen by Chief Compliance Officer Bob Mensinger.\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.americanrifleman.org\/content\/doug-hamlin-nra-s-new-ceo-evp\/\" target=\"_blank\">Newly elected EVP &amp; CEO Doug Hamlin<\/a>\u00a0has reaffirmed his commitment to grow the organization and restore the trust of NRA members.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we move forward, my primary objective is to restore the trust of our members, our industry, our donors and our staff,\u201d Hamlin said in an introductory email to NRA employees. \u201cOnce our members see we are making progress with the changes resulting from the efforts of our Board of Directors, they will come back in significant numbers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><em>\u2014Courtesy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nraila.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NRA-ILA<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-next-post-navi\">\n<p>\nNext Post Coming Soon&#8230;\u25b6\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/court-rules-no-financial-monitor-needed-for-nra\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Next Post Coming Soon&#8230;\u25b6 A New York judge has ruled that there will be no court-appointed overseer to monitor National Rifle Association, denying New York Attorney General Letitia James\u2019 request for further oversight of the organization.
