NRA Board Member Resigns, Marking The Fourth In Two Weeks

FAIRFAX CITY, VA — Another board director for the National Rifle Association has resigned, according to multiple reports. Julie Golob announced on her website she would not complete her three-year term as director, saying she can no longer commit to fulfilling the duties of a director.

Golob, a professional sport shooter and public advocate for gun rights, did not state a reason for her resignation; however, she is the fourth board director in the last two weeks to leave the NRA board, the Washington Post reported.

“This was not a decision I made lightly,” Golob wrote on her website. “I apologize to those members who have supported me that I will not be completing the full 3-year term. I also feel this is the best decision for me and my family.” She continued by saying she still plans to support the organization’s programming and sports.

The NRA has a 76-member board of directors. While many directors continue to voice support, current NRA leadership is under siege recently, according to multiple reports. The lobby group is under pressure following two recent mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton, and is also facing legal troubles, allegations of financial misconduct and other high-profile staff departures.
